A cross-posting from my World of Music blog. Head over there and check it out right now!
I mentioned earlier in the blog that John Wilkinson was a key inspiration in the development of this blog, and he has now developed a new online PTI course which may be of interest.
Participants will learn how to use music as a focused and effective stimulus for discussion, grounded in the cultural zeitgeist of the 1990s, and aligned with the Key Stage 5 Changing Places curriculum.
Aims of the course:
- Apply the nexus of music, sport and politics to explore the socio-economic, political and cultural landscape of 1990s Britain
- Examine how Britpop reflects cultural identity, lived experience, and sense of place
This course is for:
- Teachers delivering Changing Places at Key Stage 5
- Teachers seeking to enrich their teaching of place, identity and cultural geography
- Teachers interested in using cultural material (e.g. music) to deepen geographical thinking

It's a good book. I got it out of the library and a review is forthcoming in a future post.
