Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Ofsted!

An Ofsted report has just lambasted the state of geography teaching in the UK. The report based on inspections over the last three years found that geography was the worst-taught subject and that pupils saw it as boring. Now, most of us know that this isn’t true - geography teachers up and down the land continue to inspire and engage young people with the world around them.

But, here’s the bit I really agree with. Ofsted want more fieldwork (bye-bye cotton-wool culture), and more relevance (hello climate change and fair trade).

There is so much scope for making geographical learning exciting, engaging and inspiring.

Digital Explorer wants to bring the world to the classroom in as many ways as possible using the latest technology.

If you work for the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families) then contact us, or please forward this on if you have contacts.

We have plans to change completely the way that young people interact with the world. Come on board.
