Earth Primer: for GCSE geomorphology

A month or so ago, I picked up on an app that was getting ready for adding to the App store. I contacted Chaim Gingold, who worked on the game called SPORE some years ago, and found out more about it, and started to get excited about the potential for teaching the ideas that underpin geomorphology to a lower school audience, and those who may just be interested in finding out more about how the Earth works.

The app is now live on the App store at a cost of £7.99, and is called Earth Primer.
Take a look here.

It allows the user to explore the world in an exciting way and explore how processes that shape the earth work.
There are several sections which are possible to work through and these include a look beneath the surface of the Earth as well as the range of processes which change the surface.
Work through the book to unlock tools which can then be used in the Sandbox section of the app.

I'm working on some education materials for the app, which will be available in a few weeks time.

iPad Apps for GCSE Geography

Many geography departments are experimenting with, or considering purchasing iPads.
(Other tablet devices are available...... they're just not as good....)

According to a statistic I saw it a while ago, around 70% of school ICT managers are apparently considering the implications of iPads for their school networks, or have already taken the plunge with them.
Here are the apps I have on my iPad - exported thanks to a tip from Kathy Schrock...
