This small-scale survey aims to explore how technology has been used to teach Geography during the recent pandemic, to identify examples of good practice, which educators are likely to continue to use in the future. Due to Covid-19, educators were forced to use a greater variety of technology, in new ways to deliver the curriculum through periods of enforced blended and remote learning.
This has included greater use of platforms like Google Suite/Microsoft Teams, as well as digital tech such as visualisers and pen tablets, and a range of other types of software and freely available apps, to teach Geography. Importantly, the focus of this work, is not about the digital divide that may have caused a disparity in accessing the curriculum for students, but instead about discovering great ideas for using tech to make geography lessons even better!
We would like to invite you, as a geography educator, to participate in this small research study, which is being conducted by Sophie Wilson in the IOE at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, in collaboration with Bob Lang at King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls, Birmingham, as members of the Geographical Association’s ICT Special Interest group.
