Operational notes

The first week of students being back in school has been hectic but the dust is settling.

I spent the weekend leading a Category 1 DP Geography workshop, online, with participants from Brazil, Europe and China. As I was leading a workshop you can get free access to geographyalltheway.com, until Sunday, using the username and password: workshop.

All Geographers

The 2022 revision of the World Population Prospects is out. Check out the key messages which include →

The world’s population is projected to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022, and India is projected to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023. 

World Population Prospects 2022 is the twenty-seventh edition of the official United Nations population estimates and projections.

IB DP Geographers

I am currently covering 2.1 Causes of global climate change with my DP2 class. I found this site, focused upon on feedback loops, particularly useful when addressing →

Changes in the global energy balance, and the role of feedback loops...

In this series of five short films, Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops, learn why natural warming loops have scientists alarmed—and why we have less time than we think.

Updates

Those who signed up, as either mentors or mentees, to the 2022 cohort of the DP Geography educator mentoring project. Emails went out at the weekend to start the mentor-mentee partnerships.

The 2023 meeting of the Swiss IB Geography Teachers Network will be on Friday 12th May 2023 at the International School of Lausanne. The best way to stay abreast of developments is by joining the Swiss IB Geography Network group on LinkedIn. For teachers in Switzerland and neighbouring countries only - sorry.

Random

Rather random this week... Have a play, see if the larger population agrees with you and share it with a Theory of Knowledge teacher - they like this sort of thing.

A game that gives you increasingly absurd trolley problems. Help humanity solve philosophy by solving all the trolley problems.
