Hello, dear guests, friends, colleagues! Today is, in theory, a special day for geographers... After all, today is November 1, this is the day of writing All-Russian geographical dictation!
It started on November 1, 2015 at 12:00 local time in all regions of the country. This large-scale educational event was held for the first time by the Russian Geographical Society, and anyone could participate in it, regardless of age and education.

A little about the dictation itself...
The Chairman initiated the dictation Board of Trustees Society Vladimir Putin at the XV Congress of the Russian Geographical Society. The idea received wide public support - the Russian Geographical Society received hundreds of requests from ordinary people who want to write a dictation. Federal funds also supported the educational campaign. mass media.
In each subject of the Russian Federation, regional branches of the Russian Geographical Society have organized sites for conducting geographical dictation. In our city, this is the Faculty of Geography of Kub State University.

For those who for some reason cannot test their knowledge on offline platforms, on The website of the Russian Geographical Society was supposed to organize online testing, which would begin at 14.00 Moscow time.

One of the main principles of all-Russian action– anonymity. On the assignment and answer forms, you can indicate your real name or pseudonym. Each participant will receive a unique identification number by which they can find out their personal result on December 10 on rgo.ru.

The work of Russians will be checked only by professional geographer teachers.
The dictation will allow you to assess the level of geographical knowledge of all categories of citizens of our country and will draw attention to the problem of geographical literacy. According to the results of the All-Russian knowledge test in educational programs Geographical changes will be made.
The theme of the dictation in 2015 is “My country is Russia.”

Right there, on the website of the Russian Geographical Society, there was also Regulations on dictation. After reading it carefully, I highlighted several of the most important points:
2. Purpose, objectives and principles of the Dictation
2.1. The dictation is carried out to assess the level of geographic literacy of the population.
2.2. The objectives of the Dictation are:
– obtaining objective information about the level of geographic literacy of the Russian population, taking into account its age and social structure;
– providing the opportunity for Dictation participants to obtain an independent assessment of their knowledge in the field of geography;
– attracting media attention and Russian society to the problem of geographic literacy of the population;
– motivation of various segments of the population to study the geography of their native country, knowledge of which is an integral component educated person;
– development of recommendations for improving the quality of geographical education.

5.2. The text of the Dictation includes 25 test tasks and consists of three parts:
– Part 1 – tasks on knowledge of geographical concepts and terms;
– Part 2 – tasks on knowledge of the location of geographical objects on the map;
– Part 3 – geographical descriptions.

5.3. The Dictation text includes open and closed questions.
5.4. Total points for Dictation – 100.

I was SOOO interested! Therefore, I planned my day in such a way as to get everything done - sleep, do household chores, and take part in the dictation)))))) And now the treasured time “X” comes - 5 minutes before the start of the dictation...

And at exactly 14-00... the site stops working!!! Error information is constantly displayed or the page simply does not load. I start looking for an answer on the Internet - maybe I'm doing something wrong??? It turns out that everyone does. Apparently, the server cannot cope with the huge number of participants who want to take the online test...
I find one of the groups dedicated to dictation on VKontakte, and I understand that EVERYONE does this! People ask questions to the Organizers, write to each other, but nothing can be done. All that remains is to wait.

And on VKontakte something interesting begins - tired of waiting, students, teachers, instructors and simply curious people decided to conduct their own dictation)))) They ask questions about geography and answer them. And I also took part, but I didn’t forget to go to the official website. The server was not working...

There was also a place for a smile)))) And without this there is no way - people are different, and nervous too, because someone even went to work on a day off to write a dictation!

And now, when there is only one thing left until the end of the dictation only 30 minutes, the site is up and running!!!
But before answering questions, I... asked MMM to help me. No, no, not to answer, but to monitor the honesty of my fulfillment of all the conditions of the Organizers - not to use books, atlases, telephones and the Internet... Why? And just like that, just in case...

For ethical reasons, I removed the answer fields.

It was some kind of nightmare... Each question took about a minute to load, the answers were not sent the first time, twice I had to start all over again... And I was constantly worried - was the answer loaded? Will this affect the result...

When answering question No. 9, the teacher’s hand could not resist, quietly reaching out to open the all-knowing Yandex... But a menacing shout: “Kudddaaa?” returned it to its place))))) Liliya Pavlovna covered herself with red spots from shame, collected her thoughts and answered this question...
You can't use it, so you can't. So MMM came in handy!

The questions were different. First, it was necessary to enter the name of a concept, geographical object, city into a cell...

And then you had to choose from the proposed options...

Using fast home wired Internet, I was able to answer only 19 questions in 25 minutes!!! A huge amount of nerves were spent! I kept looking at my watch...

The clock showed 16:00. 10 minutes when I opened question 25. And I realized that it is very difficult to answer it, not because I don’t know the answer, but because the answer can be formulated in different ways... I answered, taking into account that the dictation is designed for ordinary people, not geography teachers)))) )
