Shelagh Waddington and Gerry Kearns were at Trinity College Dublin to receive from the Association of Geography Teachers of Ireland the T. Jones Hughes Award for the article published during 2015 in Geographical Viewpoint that had done most to advance and give pleasure to the teaching of Geography in schools. Based on practical classes developed for Maynooth University the article described how online census and mapping resources might be used to give students the basis for a geographical study of neighbourhood change over the past century.
