Final push for the exams...

Very best wishes to all those who are sitting their GCSE Geography exams next week, and the teachers who have been preparing them for those exams.
Remember that there are plenty of materials online from the NINGs, to the awarding body websites, to the SLN Geography Forum to check for what teachers are sharing...

At least the weather this week has been good for revising: wet and windy. There are few worse things as a teenager than trying to revise when the sky is blue with the promise of a wonderful day spent outside.
A reminder that when teaching mid-latitude depressions a wet and windy day might be good...

There are also some apps that have been produced to help students with revision.
There is one for AQA that can be seen here. I don't have the app, but several teachers I know say that it has proved useful.

The Badger book describes the value of apps, and also includes an activity where students create content for their own revision app.
