Regolith.com is a new and exciting venture in the virtual world
of education about the real world - our world. We are very keen
to fine tune our plans as we build the web site to take account
of the views of our visitors. Please, please, let us know what
you think, where you think we should go and what sort of material
we should show. Send us a message to enquiries@regolith.com and let us know if you would like your comments included on this
page.
Below are a few of the hundreds of messages we have received from
vistitors to this site. . . .
"I've just visited your site and it already looks impressive.
The extra information about each photo is useful - I'm assuming
that when the search-engine is complete there will be key words
in this text as well as in the image captions? It would also be
quite useful to have sequences of images (if these are available)
of, say, locations along the course of a river, or the same river
in low-flow and high-flow conditions... Do you intend to include
sections on human environments?"

"The site is a great idea, I think that to make it popular with
students in a highly competitive market, you could have a series
of competitions on specific themes e.g. hydroseres, xeroseres
with prizes for specific age groups. This would be a frequently
asked questions page, where answers to previous questions could
be included, but also people can submit a question which can be
replied to.
Good luck with the site, I will certainly use it."

"This site is extremely useful as it is often photographs that
are lacking as a resource in many departments. Pupils can use
these as case studies and for personal research. It may be better
to have more detailed information about how these particular features
formed and links between features of similar types."
Miss C. Parker
Geography Department
The Deans School
Benfleet
Essex
"This appears to be excellent resource material with a lot of
classroom and teaching potential."
Head of Geography (Anon)
"This is a good site with real potential. I would suggest a few
things
1. A photo index (small pictures in a form which appears on the
screen quickly.
2. More photos of classic glacial landforms - maybe from the Lake
District - typical UK upland landscapes.
3. More photos of coastal landforms, stacks . . . . .
Looks good & will keep an eye on the site."
Anon
"Photographs are excellent. Look forward to search engine, and
a larger selection of photos to select from. On a personal note
I would like to have more coastal erosion, deposition, sea action
and to be UK or EU located. Thank you."
Anon
"Hi
As a teacher of geography your bank of photos are excellent -
hope it continues to grow.
How about a human section?"
G. Davies
"Smashing site, I can see some real use for this with my kids.
One thought however that would make this very useful for UK schools
would be a series of photos following one river from source to
mouth indicating the major features found along the course. If
these could be linked to a map and even better flow data etc.
as well for various points it would be brilliant!"
Steve Braysher
"Dear Sirs,
Thankyou for starting up what will be a very useful resource for
teachers. i have visited the site today, and those parts that
were not still under construction look to be impressive."
Head of Geography (Anon)
"Who is behind regolith?!!! (geographer?!)
What a great idea. . . . will you be putting some coast pictures
up at anytime??
I will use your pictures in my A level and GCSE teaching next
term . . . . thanks for the postcard in the GA magazine . . .
.
Best Wishes"
