• Keen to improve exam results?
• Finding cover lessons a problem?
• Looking to use ICT more effectively?
• Worried about your use of homework?

A practical solution

This convenient publication offers a substantial bank of digital material that can be presented onscreen or printed out for use in class, at home or at an after-school study club.

Fully compatible with the 2008 National Curriculum for Key Stage 3, KS3 Geography Network Resources can form an important time-saving resource for the whole department as:

• the basis for a carefully structured homework programme (the lack of which is frequently criticised by Ofsted)
• a convenient, referenced source of cover lesson activities that can readily be fitted in to an existing scheme of work
• a range of supplementary materials for classwork
• ideal support for non-specialists.

680 pages of material!

All the software you need is provided on the disc. The resources can be viewed onscreen using Adobe Reader (provided on the disc). This allows highlighting and annotating, use of an online dictionary, and a text-to-speech facility. Text and graphics can also be copied and pasted. Plus, all the material can be printed on demand. There is separate teacher and student material where appropriate.

Ideal for meeting Ofsted requirements

KS3 Geography Network Resources comes with a full site licence, and so are ideal for use over an intranet – perfect for demonstrating how your department uses ICT in the delivery of Geography and how it sets regular, appropriate and well-planned homework.
