Advances in E-learning: The case of blogging in school geography
Phil Wood
This discussion paper sets out preliminary results from an ongoing investigation into the use of educational weblogs (edublogs) in geography education. Using a framework introduced by Rey (2006), it demonstrates that there is a developing and progressive blogging community of teachers across the UK who are using the opportunities the medium offers in a number of innovative and dynamic ways. These not only include a focus for professional discussion and development, but also for work with students within and beyond school communities. There is also limited evidence for a 'communal constructivism' emerging through the sharing of ideas and knowledge.

ICT in School Geography - more than motivation
David Mitchell
This discussion paper presents preliminary findings and ideas from ongoing research into curriculum development in ICT to support geographical learning. It draws on the findings of the GA curriculum development projects: A Geography Department Website; Spatially Speaking; and Webcams. It also draws on the link between the Spatially Speaking project to develop GIS in school geography and an initial teacher education course.
