I don't create pretty resources (almost all flip charts and visualiser work for me), don't write insightful blogs and I'm not a beacon of #positivity, so I sometimes wonder why I am on Twitter and feel guilty for how little I contribute. (1)

One thing I do is to read a lot and spend time on subject knowledge for our evolving curriculum. Geography has been my latest pursuit, so I thought I'd put together a thread of the primary geography sources and resources I've found helpful in an attempt to feel useful. (2)

1. As always, I'd start with the subject associations. The Geographical Association @EYPPC_GA is an absolute treasure trove. Their topic guides, including misconceptions and activity ideas, are extremely useful. Free primary membership right now too: https://www.geography.org.uk/Free-Primary-Membership
(3)

The Royal Geographical Society ( @RGS_IBGschools) produce comprehensive, quality (and free) schemes of work that can give a backbone for planning or ideas/sources for you to draw from. Also check out http://DiscoveringAntarctica.org.uk  & http://DiscoveringGalapagos.org.uk  if you study those topics. (3)

The Geological Society ( @geolsoc) have some great presentations, activity and factsheets for areas of the curriculum that are well worth checking out: https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/heresources  (4)

National Geographic is a great site for subject knowledge: I visited https://www.nationalgeographic.org/education/resource-library/ for their encyclopedic entries regularly while putting together our curriculum intent. Great treasure trove of photos as well. https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/  is pretty good too. (5)

@Digimap4Schools is a superb resource: a quality collection of current and historical map collections that can be interacted with in many ways. It's free for all schools until the end of July and they have loads of plans and resources on their site. (6)

@OurWorldInData is a phenomenal resource for geography teachers. It's particularly helpful at primary level if you're studying population, energy or natural resource use. Thousands of free charts that you can view in various forms and customise which countries' data you want. (7)

@thetruesize is a brilliant tool for primary geography, allowing you to compare the size of different countries and to counteract misconceptions that can be caused by the mercator projection... you might even surprise yourself with what you find. (8)

@SeterraGeo is a superb resource for geography teachers: loads of online map quizzes for continents & countries of the world, as well as loads of other quizzes & plenty of printable maps too. Racing against my Y6 on here has been my favourite remote learning task I've set! (9)

Lastly, I couldn't talk about geography curriculum without shouting out @MrsSTeaches blog, which I have visited & revisited many times while curriculum planning for my school. Brilliant guides to geography curriculum planning and units for KS1 and 2 https://mrssteaches.school.blog/  (10)

So there are 10 sources of geography inspiration I've found to be useful while planning and resourcing my school's curriculum. I'm sure I've missed some, but I hope these help primary teachers & curriculum leads. Feel free to RT and tag anyone who might find this thread helpful.
