Improve your map skills!

You are required to use maps in Geography at all levels in the secondary school curriculum. Why not have a look at some of these videos from Simon King to refresh your memory. You can view them on the Wildlife Whisperer Website.

Global Peace Index

I have just had a look at the Vision of Humanity website and it looks very useful. 149 nations of the world have been ranked by their peacefulness and the results have stimulated some very interesting analysis.

'Mental Maps' and Environmental Cognition...

The internal representation each of us have of an area is usually very different, and based on our experiences. Therefore, if i asked you to draw a map of Seaford from memory, the maps you would draw are unlikely to be the same as that of the next person.

Thanks to Ian Murray (SLN) for pointing out a set of interesting cognitive maps showing young peoples perceptions of their city. Click here to see more of these maps.



What would your 'Mental Map' look like?
