ICT in the Humanities and Geography Classroom
Russel Tarr of ClassTools.net and activehistory.co.uk fame has added a 2-Circle Venn Diagram template to the existing 3-Circle Venn Template. I will be using it when discussing hazards with my Year 9 students – defining hazards as Extreme Natural Events that interact with Vunerable Populations.

I have been tagged – by Alan Parkinson. It’s a bit like the chain letters of old but without the nasty side. The idea is to present 7 facts about yourself that others might not know.
Here we go …
1. I lived in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery for 6 months. It was part of my gap year before university. I applied to go to China to teach airhostesses English but ended up in a Buddhist monastery in India instead!
2. I recently sold my beautiful VW Campervan to buy a ’sensible’ family car.
3. I used to climb a lot and intend to climb a lot again in the future – oh for the time!
4. I once did a three performance stint as Carmen Miranda at a school Cabaret evening. Sorry – no photos available.
5. I did my first ‘Mile High’ Nappy Change yesterday.
6. The name ‘geographyalltheway.com‘ was invented by my wife, as we brainstormed possible website addresses, while driving round a roundabout on the M60.
7. I am an International Mountain Leader – having passed my Summer Mountain Leader Assessment, completed my Winter Mountain Leader Training and built up an extensive logbook of walking experience.
Who should I ‘tag’ – I would have tagged the person that tagged me and others that have already been tagged. I’ll add to the mix:

Tilt-Shift Maker produces images that look like photos taken of models – they remind me of model railway landscapes. Here are two that I quickly produced from some of my recent photographs – one of the Pen y Pass Hotel taken from the Pyg Track on the way up Snowdon and the second of the Barcelona skyline taken from the Sagrada Família.
They could produce interesting starter images.
