Try something different – encourage reticent learners

Some students are not keen on using books for revision but are enthusiastic about computers. This enthusiasm can be channelled to help raise their achievement at GCSE using our eRevision Guide: Geography.

Everything on one CD-ROM

Each disc provides coverage at Foundation and Higher tiers. Simply order the required number of student licences and copy the files onto your server or a set of stand-alone machines. Individual students can make their own copy of the Geography eRevision Guide and get straight to work on it.

Anytime, anywhere learning

Each licensed student can use the material at home and develop as independent learners.

Use ICT effectively in the classroom

Use the material in the classroom either printed out or projected onto a screen. Adobe Acrobat Reader is ideal for interactive teaching, with or without an electronic whiteboard.
