Part 1 of the presentation: MapIT PictureIT WriteIT (Wendy North - TES Conference 2.10.09)

• Geography is ... a way of looking at the world that focuses our learning on what places and the environment are like, why they are important to us, how they are changing and how they might develop in the future.
