Obligatory 'on the train to GA' selfie :) Looking forward to seeing so many friends and colleagues from the #GeographyTeacher community very soon!

Loading new professional adventure 🫡🥳 First day as the new joint Head of Inclusion and Belonging at the @nationaltrust.bsky.social Amazing team of people, fantastic vision to make nature, beauty & history accessible to all. LETS GO! 🙏🏾💪🏾🩷🌸 #DEI #EDI #Inclusion #nature #nationaltrust

Looking for some examples of great animations that make good use of maps. Any suggestions of things you've seen and loved??

#GeographyTeacher If you didn't see it the #OneShow on Monday evening was very #Geographical - two great geospatial stories - creating #DigitalTwins of graveyards ( and using Drones + Machine Learning + GIS to carry out seal surveys in Norfolk. Plus Simon Reeve... www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

A couple of sneaky foxes painted for the River Rea art trail in Longbridge, Birmingham. This was previously part of the MG Rover factory site, which took 15 yrs to clear of industrial waste. Now it's home to a clean stretch of river that's teeming with wildlife 🌿

Hello followers - I'm back again looking at spatial variations in the names for common objects! Can you help me out by telling me (anonymously) what you'd call a particular spoon? Click the link to a 5 second survey! arcg.is/1qK1yr1 #Spoon #GeographyTeacher #NorthSouthDivide

A pleasure to show MapMaker on the @lgfl-ngfl.bsky.social stand today at #BETT :) Some super primary school students showing off their impressive geography skills too! #TeachWithGIS

I dug up a great Venn diagram by @tomgauld.

👇 ICYMI training in the north of England for teachers wanting to use GIS in their classrooms - with bursaries available to support schools to attend. #TeachWithGIS

Hello #GeographyTeacher! We're pleased to announce our #TeachWithGIS workshops, taking place at the National STEM learning centre in York, are now available to book! More details and booking information can be found here: www-new.stem.org.uk/cpd/541869/b... #STEM colleagues welcome too! ;)

This is what effective StoryMapping looks likes with Year 9 #EAL students and examining the geography of fear. This fieldwork is free! All you need is a device like a phone to collect the data. I am blown away. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/e076... #geogchat #geographyteacher #GIS

#geographyteachers see below link to 'Geography for all our futures'. It sets out some of opportunitues & challenges facing geog as the GA develops our new 2025-30 strategy. & feedback & views welcome on [email protected] geography.org.uk/geography-fo...

I guess this is now a tradition from Mr Nelson...geography and Christmas rolled up into one! www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/...

A new low, I think, on this year's Wrapped... 🤣🤣🤣

From urban expansion to the shrinking of lakes, the Landsat Explorer app in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World provides an easy way for users to access and interpret #Landsat satellite data. 🛰️ 🔹Learn more: esri.social/OzBu50Uc3rv #ArcGISLivingAtlas

O what a pleasure to teach at Sussex University today, and a chance for this landlocked midlander to see the sea from the new house of old friends 🥲

The @rgsibg.bsky.social response to the Curriculum and Assessment review is now online www.rgs.org/about-us/our...

First StoryMap created by my multilingual students. They used Survey123 to collate the data and StoryMap to present. Fantastic work from Year 9 on Valentine’s theory of the geography of fear #geographyteacher storymaps.com/stories/ea54...

#HowIUsedGISToday Great geographical (secondary)data collection today with Y14s. We used AGOL to familiarise ourselves with prior lava fields, then used this graph to find satellite images of each lava flow. Must all data collection be primary? Is remote sensed data collection still fieldwork?

I love being able to use ArcGIS Online to create bespoke basemaps. This one is a combo of Community basemap, a shaded topography layer with Multiply blending mode, with some Sketch Layers showing some of the key features. Pupils will be using this to analyse lava flows around Grindavik.

An excellent day at #NCSS today. National Geographic MapMaker got a great reception from educators, lots of discussion about the different ways it can be used in the classroom. #freeforschools www.nationalgeographic.org/society/educ...

#GeogChat - if you're interested in Education Nature Parks, free GIS CPD or more about what's coming in the world of GIS, drop us a line ;)

It's been another epic week for the #TeachWithGIS team! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Launched the Nature Discovery Map Scotland toolkit! 👀 Previewed incredible virtual fieldwork resources landing in 2025 🖥️ Worked with fantastic DRET geographers on embedding GIS across their curriculum 🧑🏼‍🏫 AND with PGCE students today! Phew!!

A bit of travel chaos couldn't stop @dav1dm0rgan.bsky.social and me having too much fun with the lovely Oxford Geography PGCE crowd today! #TeachWithGIS

BGS is hosting a free CPD session for primary teachers. Based in the Angela Marmont Centre For UK Nature at the Natural History Museum, the day will focus on expanding your knowledge of geology for lesson plans. Book now: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/primary-sc...

This #RecyledRacer loves the snow so much, and was determined we'd walk up the hill today. I think she was right, worth it for the view.

Happy GIS Day! Sneak-peek at an exciting project. Working with InView Assets to collect hi-res imagery & models of Northam Burrows, Devon. Specific teaching & learning resources using this coming in the new year! How would you use it to enrich your teaching? Explore it here shorturl.at/kKpcO

Just realised I forgot to take advantage of yesterdays snow to share the 50 Years of UK Snow Days Map! It's snowy here today too, so we are almost halfway to our average 5.3 days per year! #TeachWithGIS teachwithgis.co.uk/apps/754e5e4...

Never have we needed #GIS more to solve the challenges we face. But we also need bright minds to drive it. Find out how to join the Esri family with the @esriuk GIS Day #careers webinar - register.gotowebinar.com/register/194...

I just recorded a 12-minute video for universities that are celebrating #GISDay. It is focused on "Modern GIS". Let me know if you'd like to use it.

What a fantastic presentation to be part of! 💐💐💐 Thanks again to the fantastic Penny, Sue and Sam for taking us through the whys and how's of Nature Discovery Map Scotland today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.nature.scot/professional... to find out more if you couldn't be with us today in Glasgow #LearningPlacesScotland

I am at the Fredrick Douglas Academy in Detroit today to learn about their GIS Pathway Program www.detroitk12.org/domain/1963 Some impressive young men here! #geographyawarenessweek #geographyteacher

Last chance to join me later today for my live GIS Day webcast! Free, fun, relevant. But you need to register beforehand to get the link to attend.

And here's Sam taking us through the apps in detail! #LearningPlacesScotland

Sue Munro now talking all things Nature Discovery Map Scotland! What the tools are, why they were developed, and how teachers in Scotland can use them in their classrooms. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌳🌲🧑🏼‍🏫 #LearningPlacesScotland

Penny Martin setting the scene for the Nature Discovery Map Scotland - when we think of a school is it just the classrooms? Or the outdoor spaces too as locations for learning? How can these provide opportunities for nature connectedness #LearningPlacesScotland

Silent disco vibes here at #LearningPlacesScotland as Nature Discovery Map Scotland it about to get it's moment in the spotlight!

Sam getting ready to talk all about the GIS tools that underpin Nature Discovery Map Scotland at #LearningPlacesScotland ! #GeographyTeacher you'll not want to miss these - an amazing way to engage students in learning outside and around issues of #sustainability and #biodiversity

Fantastic to be in sunny Glasgow this morning for #LearningPlacesScotland ! Gillian Penny from Apple taking us through the importance of digital literacy in the opening keynote. It's not enough to just hand out devices. And it needs to be technology with learning in mind :)

Finally trying my hand at this #TrainKnitting malarkey as I travel north today for a conference in Glasgow tomorrow. It's a lot harder for me than @dav1dm0rgan.bsky.social makes it look!! 😅
