About Juicy Geography
What's this pretentious rubbish then?
The aim of Juicy Geography is to share some free ideas and resources. That's it really. (Except you won't find any endorsement from DFEs, Specialist Schools Trust, Ofsted, Somerset LEA or anyone else. So it's probably all wrong!) Teachers in Somerset schools are welcome to free INSET advice on the ideas and materials presented in this web site. In 2008/9 I'm available on Thursdays to work in Somerset schools. Get in touch here.
The feedback and support from all at SLN Geography, and especially the many forum users is gratefully acknowledged.
Advertising:
The income from adverts DOES NOT cover the hosting and development costs of this site which is a non-profit making educational resource. This site, and the blogs Digital Geography and Juicy Geography's Google Earth page are published in my spare time, on my own computer, at my own expense, as a hobby. Advertising is used to defray some of the costs involved, though it would be nice to remove them if anyone would like to sponsor the site!
If you have found something on the site useful, and could spare a few pence to help contribute to the hosting costs, then feel free to make
a donation via Pay Pal. Or just send a picture of your class doing Juicy Geography! That would be really nice.
I make no claims at all for the validity of anything on Juicy Geography. I can't be held responsible for any of the external sites I have linked to.
All of the views on the site are personal, and not those of my employers.
Please contact me before re-posting any of the ideas or materials from Juicy Geography.
About Me
I'm a so-called "Advanced Skills Teacher" currently working in the South West of England. I've been teaching Geography for quite a long time, and delivering INSET on Juicy Geography - type things. I received the Royal Geographical Society Award for "contributions to excellence in the teaching of Geography in 2003". Most recently I've been writing teaching materials for the Action Plan for Geography, and helping the BBC produce "Class Clips" I'm also flirting with the idea of writing a book on Neogeography in the classroom.
