Joe Usher is Assistant Professor in Primary Geography Education and Social, Environmental and Scientific Education at Dublin City University. He joins John this week to talk about how to get teachers and pupils to recognise the threads of geography running through everyday spaces and places, and how to implement tools like Minecraft to get them to consider issues such as sustainability and accessibility.

They discuss his own projects in Ireland getting children involved in town planning and why looking at the local area is vital to geographical teaching.

Series 9 of GeogPod is kindly sponsored by Cambridge Assessment International Education.
