High quality case studies to complement textbook learning. You have to buy either the video or DVD, but these are well worth the money for a school or department.
http://www.geographyalltheway.com/
Prepared by an experienced Geography teacher, this site has material for teachers and students. There are some excellent free resources, but this is a subscription-based site.
www.nationmaster.com
A very useful resource site, filled with data and statistics on a wide range of geographical topics. Compare different LEDC and MEDC countries for population, economy, agricultural and environmental information. For case study work, collect relevant data on countries studied. A worthwhile resource for teachers and students (though it has irritating pop ups).
www.usgs.gov
An American-based site that has a lot of up-to-date information on all sorts of topics. Check out the seismic activity around the world for the last seven days, as well as plenty of resources under the Hazards and Education section.

https://global.oup.com/education/content/secondary/series/geoactive/;jsessionid=D65ADACEBAF64F9EC0DB6B5E5C7A3F38?region=international
This link will direct you to a subscription site, GeoActive, for an amazing amount of case studies for geography. You can download one or two samples to have a look at the quality of the work. If you like consolidating knowledge through more case studies than you have in your textbook, it may be worth the subscription.
www.census.gov
A useful resource for teachers and students who want to see different population pyramids for countries under study. Go to People and Households link, and then choose the International option. Under the quick links, choose the International Data Base (IDB) and then Data Access. Select the country, year of the population and then click on the population pyramid tab to see the structure. By choosing LEDC and MEDC countries, the population structures can be easily compared. The site can also show how the population has changed over time or is predicted to change.

A website on sustainable technology throughout the world, concerned with agriculture, industry and energy resources. This is a useful reference tool and provides interesting case studies.

www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/
The American-based CIA world fact book gives comprehensive data on every country in the world. Fascinating facts are based on geography, population, economy and more. A useful resource when gathering facts for case studies, or for comparisons.

BBC Bitesize Geography revision. Plenty to do and keep the geography content front of mind.

http://www.physicalgeography.net/
This US-based site is informative and easy to navigate. There is far more information here than is needed for the A Level Geography course, so it is best to be reviewed by teachers first before sending students to the site. Alternatively, this becomes a helpful resource for teachers.
http://www.course-notes.org/Human_Geography/Outlines/Human_Geography_Culture_Society_and_Space_8th_Edition_Textbook
