About Me

Hi my name is Sharlie, I will be a Secondary Geography PGCE student at Leicester University in Septemeber and am creating this blog as way of developing my subject knowledge. Up until now I have been a student at Coventry University reading Geography and Natural Hazards. I have always been interested in the environment and love nothing more than donning a pair of walking boots or wellies and exploring. I also love to go to new places and experience different cultures and have been lucky enough to have travelled to many places around the world!

Welcome to my GeogBlog :-)

As part of my preliminary work for my PGCE, I have identified Cultural Geography as the area of the subject where I feel least confident and where I need to develop my knowledge. As I have done a degree in Geography and Natural Hazards, I feel far more confident with physical geography then I do with the human aspect of it.
Cultural Geography can be defined as:
"Cultural geography is the study of the many cultural aspects found throughout the world and how they relate to the spaces and places where they originate and then travel as people continually move across various areas"
By creating this blog I will develop my understanding of this subject area, by exploring Cultural Geography using various aids; explanations, definitions, videos and other resources, exploring how different forms of information and ways of learning may be used to link resources with students.
