This is a special edition that is taking on a different format due to the demands on teachers resulting from interruptions to the delivery of lessons to students as a result of COVID-19. The aim is to make existing bulletin resources more useable by turning them into lesson sized or project-based activities with an immediate classroom or online use that does not increase teacher workload. The edition will consist of three components to provide resources that can be used for online and in class lessons with minimal teacher effort. • The Geography Bulletin containing condensed and adapted articles for Stage 4 & 5 topics from previous editions. There will be some new material. • A Geography Bulletin Supplement containing Blackline Masters student activities suited to hard copy and digital use. • Student activities in PPT format that can be imported into school online delivery methods such as Flipcharts and Google Classroom. These are directed at students e.g. In this activity/lesson you will …. Example of a condensed and adapted article Example of activities in PPT format GTANSW & ACT acknowledge the wonderful work being done by the NSW Environmental and Zoo Education Centres in supporting teachers during this time by creating virtual resources for schools to support teaching and learning from home and in the classroom. The centres have given free access to Geography teaching and learning resources and developed virtual fieldwork activities until normal fieldwork activities can resume. These resources will be available to teachers registering for EZEC programs after schools and fieldwork activities return to normal. A selection of programs run by EZEC’s across the state with links to the free access resources are included in this edition.
