GTAQ Conference, July 28th, 2012 in Brisbane
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Geography Teachers Association of Queensland (GTAQ) Conference in Brisbane. The GTAQ conference was a fantastic event thanks to the hard work of conference convenor Rebecca Nicholas and the GTAQ team. Of special note was the increase in number at the conference. Hopefully this is an indicator of change and a taste of things to come as the Australian Currciulum: Geography rolls out in 2013. As always there were some links of interest from the conference - here are just some of them.

These are my presentations on the Australian Curriculum: Geography and Geographical Thinking

children, teachers, students etc about this exciting development for
geography in Australian schools.
World Vision has a wonderful website with plenty of great school resources on global issues, aid and development.

The Destination Spatial initiative, managed by SSSI and SIBA, was created to establish a central repository of spatial resources and information for people outside the industry but interested in learning more about it as a career.
Following the UNISPACE III conference held in Vienna, Austria in July 1999, the European and French space agencies (ESA and CNES) initiated the International Charter "Space and Major Disasters", with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) signing the Charter on 20 October 2000.
The site contains a catelog contains no data but rather metadata describing the images acquired by a range of satellites during activations of the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters.
