ABSTRACT
Geography is a boundary crossing subject. The downside to this is that it has periods of identity crisis, when its advocates struggle to justify its contribution to the curriculum or education. The upside, however, is that it provides a wonderful range of learning experiences. It is not just that it is topical; it is very catholic, in that it draws upon information in many forms – text, image, moving image, symbols, graphics, spoken word, models, sound etc. Thus it can appeal to all the senses and use the spectrum of cognitive and emotional processes that help make sense of rich information.
