This is the part of the site we use to post anything we think might be of interest to teachers and students of Sociology and Psychology – from announcements about new Sociology, Psychology and Criminology films, to teaching and learning Notes, PowerPoints, web sites, software – just about anything that piques our interest, really.

In January 2021 we passed 700 individual Blog posts and to make it easier for you to find a particular post on a particular topic we’ve added a range of functions (on the bar to the right) that should help:

• Search Box: if you’re looking for something specific among our many, many, posts. It’s not very clever so try to Keep It Simple.

• Recent Posts displays the most recent posts (yes, really). Not the most useful widget in the world. Obviously.

• SCTV Archive: This is actually useful if you want a quick way to look back through the posts we’ve made by month / year. Just click the selection you want from the drop-down list.

• Popular Tags: identifies the most popular keywords used in posts (the larger the word, the more posts there are about it). Just click the word to see the posts…

• Top Posts and Pages: identifies the posts that have had the most views so you can benefit from the Wisdom of the Crowd. Or something.

• Categories: allows you to filter posts by Sociology, Psychology, Simulations and Toolbox – so if you only want to see Psychology posts (or whatever), this is the filter for you. We’ve also started to create a few sub-categories you might find useful. For example, the main “Sociology” category has sub-categories like “Crime” and “Family”. Selecting one of these sub-categories serves-up the post archive for your selection.

Finally, use the Subscribe Now box to be notified by email each time a new post appears on the Blog. This address is only ever used to send automatic notifications and, because we value your privacy, will never be passed to a third-party.

We like to think we’re better than that.

As indeed we are.
