Two events yesterday.
The first was held in a very snowy Derbyshire, just 15 minutes down the M1 from the hotel I showed you yesterday. Having de-iced the car, it was onto the M1, and to sit in a queue for about 25 minutes and arrived at the venue 3 minutes before my session was about to start, abandoning my car in the snow packed car park...
Delayed by geography...Many thanks to the delegates at the CfBT Derbyshire event.

The second event was held at the huge MAGNA Science park on the outskirts of Rotherham. There were some beautiful snow covered landscapes on the way back up the M1 but sadly no chance to take pictures of any of them...
The MAGNA centre is sited in a building where my dad used to work when he was a steelworker / engineer back in the 1960's/1970's before he moved to a different location. There's an excellent training venue called CENT. Did a quick 40 minutes or so on using Google Earth with a cross-curricular audience including maths, science, music and languages teachers. Impressed that the ICT suite already had Google Earth 5 on all the machines
Oh, and just ordered my latest GeographyPages pens: coming soon to an
INSET session near you...
And Ollie Bray and I's session proposal is being considered for the Scottish Learning Festival (23rd - 24th September)
Oh, and finally, if you're at the TES Education Show in London in October (3rd and 4th) you might want to come to the session I'm offering there as well, which is highlighted below....
