Starting to talk Geography









Where am I??  
Adelaide, Australia: S: 34º 55' E: 138º 36'



Welcome to GeogSplace, a blog developed for the Flinders University Senior Geography topic to explore the study of geography in the senior school years. There is no such word as splace but I thought it would be an interesting way to get us to think that geography is very much about both the study of place and space, so why not splace?

Some questions to consider and something to view

Here are some questions and a PowerPoint presentation to consider in our first week together. Enjoy!!



Why did you choose to study geography?


What is your geography study profile?


What part of geography do you like best?


What part of geography do you like least?


What in your view is geography?


Why do we study geography?


Do you think geography will help you with your future career/job?


Do you enjoy discussing geographical issues?


Can you list some geographical issues?


What makes these issues geographical?


Is there any one issue that really interests/enthuses you?


Do you have any concerns about this class and how you may proceed/succeed?


Do you have any questions before we start?
