GeogITs vere devised a few years ago and they're now used in over 500 schools nationwide. A 'GeogIT' is a discrete 40 minute interactive web based learning activity that makes up part of a wider geographical enquiry. An example is attached.

On the 11th July we are running a Geography and IT course which involves the study of GEOGITs.  As a lead up to the 11th July we have negotiated a discount of a third off the full price of GEOGIT exercises. This means that the entire Key Stage 3 pack of 18 enquiries will cost you £300 (normal price £450). The Key Stage 4 pack of 26 enquiries costs £400 (normal price £600).
You do not have to attend the course to be able to access this deal we have negotiated.  If you are interested please contact Hazel Chesworth (01522 552829 or email hchesworth@cfbt.com and you name and school will be passed on to Paul Bryant who has developed this package. Do you have e Learning Credits? - the resources have been DfES approved and can be purchased using eLCs.

The GeogIT is currently getting a good review on Teacher's TV and if you click here you'll get straight to it http://www.teachers.tv/video/4878 


In a nutshell, geography teachers say that they like the GeogIT because it;
can be easily added to the school's Virtual Learning Environment.
neatly embeds ICT into curriculum planning.
is helpful @ KS3 having been cross referenced to the ICTAC recommendations and follows the QCA scheme of work.
supports Assessmnet for Learning (AfL) @ KS3 and because the assessment tool usefully records students’ levels of attainment against national expectations and identifies targets for further improvement.
makes effective use of the Internet – quick and reliable
supports staff development and provides material for the school’s extranet.
uses existing IT resources - Word, Excel, Power Point. Teachers can tailor the resources to meet individual needs.
is great as a homework activity.
maximises the limited time that pupils may have in the computer room.
promotes personalised learning – extension material included.
releases valuable teacher time!
