Padlet Revision Activity – Urban Environments and Global Interactions Revision Questions

October 22, 2018November 23, 2018 by Paul Alberts

Last year, my grade 12s really enjoyed this activity for their revision and it ended up being quite straight forward to run. If you don’t have one, make an account at www.padlet.com. As a teacher, on a Smartboard, projector, Prowise; whatever you use, you can copy and paste one of the questions into a padlet. Share the link to your padlet with your students, who can then via any device access it and respond to the question. I did it in groups, so in teams of 3 students could come up with their answer. Then, as a class, when all groups had answered, we looked at the responses on the big screen to analyse who did the best and compare/contrast responses.

GIS is no longer the ‘future’ of geography, it is the now. Browsing through Linkedin jobs, it is clear that any single job related to geography makes it a baseline requirement that the applicant have experience with GIS.

Click the link for an online, free training with the world-renowned GIS company, ESRI. It is a great introduction to the mechanics and usefulness of GIS. It is a course that is helpful for students and teachers alike, and at the end you get a certificate (PD hours!). You will need to make a (free) account.
