To find how webcams can invigorate learning and teaching geography.
2006/07 project team
Project leader: David Mitchell
Funder: BECTA
Creative partners: CIMEX
Teacher researchers: Dan Raven-Ellison, Hugh Mothersole, Tony Cassidy
Approaches to Using Webcams was funded by the BECTA ICT subject fund.
The project used the 'local solutions' approach to curriculum development through CPD. This involved recruiting a team of dynamic teachers, from a range of schools. The team came together at a creative planning meeting and each school wrote an action plan. Back in school, action research took place, with the plan worked upon and reviewed with the support of the team.
The outcome was CPD for the teachers involved and curriculum development, shared with the wider geography education community, through the GA website, Annual Conference and journals.
