[Malcolm M]

A new page on the recent ACARA Australian Curriculum: Geography
National Panel Meeting (October 13th, 2010) has been posted as a page
on the group. Also only a week to go with eraly bird registrations
for the AGTA conference. All looking good with excellent numbers -
don't miss out!

Early bird registrations close on October 31st for the 2011 Australian
Geography Teachers
Conference in Adelaide (AGTA) from January 10th-13th (http://
www.agta.asn.au/conf2011/index.htm).
The theme of the conference is ‘Geography going National’ with the
focus being on the Australian Curriculum for geography but there will
also be plenty of great geography ideas for the K-12 classroom also on
show. The brochure for the conference can be downloaded from the AGTA
website at http://www.agta.asn.au/conf2011/program.htm.
View these documents and please think about joining us at this
significant event for geography in Australia.
There are great keynotes; (Peter Hill, ACARA CEO), Dr Rita Gardner
(RGS UK), George Dailey (ESRI US) and Duncan Chessell (explorer and
adventurer of Mt Everest fame). The conference also includes over 40
classroom relevant workshops and field trips. All participants will
receive a free technology in the classroom resource and many other
resources for their teaching. The price for early bird registration is
considerably lower than most national conferences so we hope you
consider joining us.
