At the end of each year, we reflect on our work and see what’s catching on.

Highlights

2013 was the year when, for example, our website:

• had its 149,500th page view (from 38,000 visitors in 166 countries/territories: according to Google Analytics);
• was peer reviewed for the first time;
• was recognised as an open access academic publication;
• was made more accessible and useful for  school geographers through newly created and collected classroom materials (big thanks to Alan Parkinson);
• was used in class by NQTs involved in our new #followtheteachers project, who blogged about what they did right here!;
• provided the Ethical Trade Trumps card game that has been adapted and test-driven for Fashion Revolution Day on April 23rd 2014 (watch out for more); and
• was researched and introduced to the Finnish school system by a Masters students at the University of Helsinki (read Eeva Kemppainen’s thesis here).

A top 10

We have continued to take photos of our Lego re-creations of scenes from followthethings.com pages and post them on Flickr. These have also started to become popular this year. Here are the top 10 most viewed, in reverse order:

There’s one more Top 10 to come: our most visited pages. Watch out.

We have lots more planned in 2014, including taking part in the Idea Zone at the Geographical Association Conference in April:

Festive feelings, peace and goodwill in 2014.

Happy shopping to all!
