How do you know what you don’t know? - Issue #11

All Geographers

Part of the FT Schools programme, this report gives students the latest insights on the science, politics and economics of climate change. Also featuring global student climate champions and tips on how to make an impact

Recently released and useful for older students. I really applaud the Financial Times' efforts to offer students contemporary resources that challenge misconceptions and promote discussion.

Check out this special report and get your school signed up for free access to FT.com if it isn't already.

IB DP Geographers

On these maps, each hexagon represents one-thousandth of the world's economy. That makes it easy to compare the GDP of regions and nations across the globe.

Global patterns and classification of economic development 

These maps are a recent discovery and I incorporated them into a DP1 lesson last week [1.1.2 Global patterns of global development]. The approach the maps take is a little different from 'normal', which I like. On geographyalltheway.com you can roll over the maps and be zoomed in to see a bit more of the detail. If you want to print the whole map - it needs to be larger than A3.

Join 25 million people and teams that organize, plan, and collaborate on tasks and projects with Todoist. "The best to-do list" by The Verge.

I like a list, I like to feel 'in control' of what I need to get done. I have been using Todoist for at least the last 7 years and it is an app that I will open every day. I like the way it integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar. There are apps for about every platform possible. If you have a digital todo list manager sized gap in your life - I wholeheartedly recommend Todoist.
