GeoGuessr


How easy is it work out where somewhere is from an image?  You can test yourself using https://geoguessr.com/ how close can you get to the actual location on the map.  Send me a screen shot of your best attempts.  Can you get closer than 10 metres on any of the maps?

Welcome back

Another summer is drawing to a close, many of you will have been away on a wide range of trips to a huge variety of places.  Some of you will have stayed a bit closer to home.
Hopefully over the summer you have been aware of Geography happening around the world, either through your own personal experiences or from paying close attention to the news.

One of the big European stories has been the issue of migration, there are so many stories and viewpoints available online.  It would be impossible to cover them here and so I will be putting a folder together on pearltrees.  As a Geographer, think critically about what you are reading, ask questions and challenge what you are reading.  What do you think should happen and why?

This article is a good starting point where the author has looked into some of the statistics.
