Mother of god, for a geography teacher this must be very exciting news.

You can't confuse Picard with Ponder.

Picard is something else. :erm:

 

[MickeyD]

Thanks. Installed and registered!

 

[Picard]

Yeah, I'm the guy ... or thing.

This is great, for I have started teaching geography this year to the grade 7s for the first time. I will definitely use this resource.

I'm not teaching alone. I'm being groomed to take over geography from a guy who is retiring, beginning of next year.
