Instructions to BLSS 1E/1N Geography Students


This blog has been created especially for you so that you are still able to learn, share and discuss geographical happenings/stories from around the world all in the comfort of your own home. =)

Before I go into the 'serious' things, , since we are geographers who care about the Earth and with the recent death of the King of Pop (MJ), I want to share with you this video:




TRIVIA QN: Can anyone tell me in which rainforest is the video taken (0:10-0:30)? =)

1) Home-based Learning Assignments

From time to time, I will put up assignments here as blog posts and you will be given ample time and clear instructions to complete the assignments before submitting them back to me (further instructions will be given in the blog post itself)

Failure to abide by the assignment due dates will mean remedial classes for all of us where we will all discuss together about how human beings can go about managing their environment better or the latest eco-friendly device that you have read/heard about. =)

2) News and Updates

If I do find interesting news and updates related to geography that I would like to share with you, I will also post them up here... for these posts, I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on them so do click on the comment button found at the bottom of the posts to share your view.

Note: All comments that you leave has to be constructive or related to the topic and do leave your name so that we will know who's making the comment. Any irrelevant comments or that with inappropriate words and content will be deleted.

3) Twitter Updates

You may have notice the sidebar with the line "Tweet with Me".. well, that is from the twitter programme that I am on and from time to time, it will be updated with what I find interesting in the world of geography. You are very much welcome to follow me on twitter and if you have any difficulties in understanding the programme, do come to me and I'll be glad to help you out! =)

My secondary school geog teacher once told me : "Knowledge is not just based on textbooks alone" and here I am sharing with you the same quote. For those very new to twitter, give it a try - you'll be amazed at the sheer amount of news and information that you learn about the world just from those 140character 'tweets'. =)

4) Questions or Queries

For other questions or queries that you have, it is best that you email me as I check my mail very frequently. You may do so at atikk.mekrat@gmail.com
