After the 2004 Asian Tsunami, the College Council want to do something positive to help the people of the area. Through various fundraising, the College has sponsored the build of a new nursery in Sri Lanka through the Shiva Charity. The nursery is now open and images of the nursery and the students attending can be viewed here.

Rachel will be leading assemblies next week to discuss the new nursery and explain how our link with the them will continue in the future.

Another advantage of Slideshare is networking with other educators.

I’ve started a Slideshare group for Geographer educators to share PowerPoints. You need to sign up as a member of Slideshare to donate or download contributions. Once a member, you can share your presentations with the group, when viewing your presentation, look to right, there are a list of options, choose send to group, when you click on this, a dialogue box will appear, choose Geography presentation and send.

The group will email you updates of new presentations added. This might be a good way of sharing teaching resources with our partnership schools?
