What is That Blue Square Thing?
That Blue Square Thing is moving on to new and exciting things. After years of mainly supporting AQA Geography GCSE Syllabus C materials it's time for a change.
Not only is that syllabus ending after the 2010 exams, but I no longer seem to be teaching Geography. Instead it's a smart new (and air conditioned) world of ICT which interests me far more these days.
There's still a bit of geography lurking around here, but it's time to move on to cover the AQA Applied ICT A Level in all its glory. There's also a bit of an expanding Functional ICT section as I seem to have been part of the ICT Functional Skills pilot. Exciting eh?
And, you know, let's throw in a touch of AiDA and DiDA stuff just because I can.
You should probably know, though, that the ICT Hub area is in development and in need of content just now. Be patient!
Sometimes there might be bits and pieces of other stuff and a little web randomness just to make things interesting.
And just to make things even more exciting there's now That Blue Square Blog
which mainly deals with Applied ICT A level, as well as Those Blue Square Things where images that aren't here might be living.
