The best thing about the @The_GA #GAConf25 is having immediate ideas to take away. Already enjoying daily satellite images from @CopernicusEU from the session on Satellites and have added ideas from @Geography_Emma into our SGQM submission! Thank you to all the fab speakers 🤩.

This is a reminder that entries for the GA's model-making competition can now come in. The idea is for students to create a 3D model showing a geographical concept that interests them using recycled materials: the-ga.org/ModelMakingComp The closing date for entries is 31 July 2024. #geographyteacher

If you teach the Geography of Food, there is a fantastic set of over 20 programmes and articles on the BBC's Follow The Food. Great for lessons, H/W or Stretch. AI such as pi.ai/talk is able to generate Q&A quickly from it too! bbc.com/future/bespoke/follo…
