Geo School Report

The BBC have teamed up with the GA to offer a chance for students to get involved in the SCHOOL REPORT initiative. This has been organised by David Rayner, who provided the following press release:

The BBC News School Report and the GA have teamed up to create a unique opportunity for geography teachers and their KS3 pupils – the chance to create an online news report, a podcast or a video news clip which will be linked nationally to the BBC News School Report website with the chance to have it broadcast live on local/national radio or tv on March 26th 2009. Full details and teacher resource packs are available from:

Sign up today and showcase what you and your KS3 geography pupils can do!

A Ning (social networking website) has been set up to offer teachers taking part in the project the chance to ask questions and to provide advice and support for each other. You can access this at:

Hi,

I'm an NQT geography teacher and I'm trying to establish this school report with my Year 8 pupils. I'm finding it really exciting and can't wait to share the news with the kids. The BBC are being really helpful at giving me tips and people to contact. Hopefully the kids will love learning geography through a more technological stance...and learn some top journalism tips!
