Dialog PLUS Project
The DialogPLUS project brings together geographer lecturers from different institutions to learn how to work together collaboratively to create and deploy digital learning materials.
The project combines the efforts of geographers, education specialists, and computer scientists at Pennsylvania State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara (U.S.) and the University of Southampton and the University of Leeds (U.K.). It is funded jointly by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the United Kingdom Joint Information System Committee (JISC) as part of their Digital Libraries in the Classroom initiative, and the partners at Southampton, Leeds and Pennsylvania State Universities have worked together as part of the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN).

These geography modules are linked to National Curriculum and QCA schemes of work.
They address four key focus areas: images and words - enhancing pupils' powers of description to give a better understanding of patterns, processes and issues; people and views - recognising viewpoints of different cultures; data and analysis and mapping.

Geography ICT Software and Hardware
http://www.ncaction.org.uk/subjects/geog/ict-sft.htm
Geography ICT Software and Hardware
Access to an automatic weather station supports work on weather and climate. More generic data-logging equipment are valuable when investigating micro-climates around the school. Pupils can use handheld sensors to measure sound pollution and a range of sensors for oxygen and pH are useful to measure the quality of water courses.
Mapping or geographic information systems (GIS) software enables pupils to access, investigate and present spatially-related data. Digital cameras offer various benefits over a conventional camera, not least the chance for pupils to review their work in the field and ensure that they are collecting suitable images for their enquiry. Portable computing enables pupils to carry out an initial analysis on the data they have collected in the field. This allows them to repeat any inaccurate experiments, thereby enhancing the fieldwork experience.
