Degg's Model

Martin Degg is a lecturer who created this model. It was used in the British Red Cross resource which was mentioned earlier in the blog, and is useful way of thinking about natural hazards as a situation where there is an overlap of the two circles. The other useful model is Park's model. See if you can find a copy of this one in a textbook that you might be using.

Here's a presentation that Mr. Parkinson gave with Lucy Tutton from the British Red Cross. GA 2017 Presentation - British Red Cross resource - Alan Parkinson and Lucy Tutton from GeoBlogs

OCR Schoology Group

OCR has created two Schoology groups for teachers to network, share ideas and resources for the two GCSE specifications. Schoology has the same sort of functionality as the old Ning groups that have now been shut down, but without the subscription fee which was introduced. All you have to do is sign up to Schoology (it's free ) and join the OCR group for your specification. How to join a Schoology group: 1. Select the “groups” tab at the top of the page. 2. Select “join” and enter the access code (listed below) for the group you want to join • GCSE (9–1) Geography A (Geographical Themes) access code – JXK62-XM68J • GCSE (9–1) Geography B (Geography for Enquiring Minds) access code - GZXSH-9ZFJC Thanks to Mark (who has now left the Geography team), Shelley and Abi for creating this, and for their other support during the introduction of the specification, and the writing of the textbook. Shelley is still running CPD courses for teachers for the new spe
