It was great to see a Geography specific session at #ResearchEd25 with @mildthing99.bsky.social discussing how GIS can become 'part of the furniture'. Here are a few of my reflections / key takeaways from the session. linkedin.com/pulse/resear... #geography #GIS #geographyteacher #ESRI #arcgis

This week our Year 2 pupils took part in the first ever Hillingdon Bee. They were joined by 8 other school where their Geography knowledge and skills were put to the test! Well done to Minet who won the competition - it was very close! @gasigict.bsky.social

I'm really pleased to highlight our Hidden Landscapes of Greenland Storymap Series, which was awarded a 2025 Silver Publisher's Award by the Geographical Association! You can find out more details here, inc. storymaps, a video, teacher resources and more: www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and...

I just published a new article that took me many “brain cycles” this summer: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮? 🌍 I explain why geolocated data requires a different mindset (for devs) + key concepts - EN: www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/... or dev.to/hhkaos/whats... - ES: medium.com/@hhkaos/qu%C...

This was a collaboration between Guy Paxman & Edmund Lea @geogdurham.bsky.social and myself! There's plenty here for #GeographyTeachers to support their GIS and cold environments teaching. @rgs-ibgschools.bsky.social @gasigict.bsky.social
