GA Conference 8 - ROOM 101 Topics

Here is the first feedback from the workshop at the GA Conference: 'Transforming Tired Topics'

Wordle: Room 101 Geography Topics

These are the Room 101 topics suggested by the delegates who attended...
Of course, some of those here might be your favourites...
As always, the larger words are the topics that were mentioned most often as the ones they wanted to get rid of...
Their favourite topics are coming shortly in another WORDLE.

Here are a few of the individual delegate comments on topics that they felt were tired and why:

Rivers: "done to death at all key stages"

Mapskills: "needs to be made relevant for the SatNav generation"

Sport and Crime: "there just to be trendy"

Agriculture: "resources are so dull, and textbooks are dated e.g. set-aside - kids don't see relevance to their lives"  - fortunately, my new FOOD UNIT will address that: coming soon to GeographyTeachingToday...

Thanks to Tom and Fred for their fabulous input...
