Yr10 Controlled Assessment - Data Presentation

A reminder about a couple of things that I mentioned to you this morning if you are in my group, and that Miss Bradford will be mentioning next week if you are in her group:

- GE Graph is the tool that allows you to add data into placemarks and therefore create graphs in Google Earth. There's more info here about it from Noel Jenkins, and from the Google Earth Community here.

- There's a really useful blog post here, also from Noel Jenkins. It was written about ways the Google Earth could be used in coursework, but most, if not all, of the ideas could also be used in your Controlled Assessment.

- Although it's written for A Level, the guide here about how to draw an isopleth map is quite useful if you need a reminder.

Don't forget that the key purpose of your data presentation is to present your findings in a clear, logical and accessible way. Think about what you want each map or graph to show, and make sure that you choose the type of map or graph accordingly.

Year 11... Coursework

I have mentioned before about Noel Jenkins' "Google Up Your Coursework" resource, and some of you will have used it already, but now that you are in the computer room, I suggest that you make the most of your time and get using at least one or two of Noel's ideas. Remember, ICT use and a range of maps, graphs, etc. will all help to improve your skills marks - so these ideas will tick lots of boxes marks-wise, as well - obviously - as making your work look much more professional.

Juicy Geography: Google Up Your Coursework

Google-up your coursework

Lots of interesting ideas from Noel Jenkins about how to use various Google applications to improve your coursework. We will look at some of these in more detail after our Burbage visit on Monday, but if you want to have a look now and think about how you might use them, click on the picture below:
