foolfillment: the blog

I just picked up a post on the ScotEdublogs feed from Glassary Primary School. The pupils there were set a good challenge - to get their Headteacher from the school to his brother’s house in Tasmania, all by public transport. They had to scour the internet for information about buses, planes, hotels, and everything else they’d need, then present their route to the class. A great challenge and a great use of technology with maths, geography, and other skills.

Even more interesting was a comment left by the Head’s brother - his route from Britain to Tasmania was more challenging than public transport - he cycled all of the 21000 miles from Edinburgh’s Calton Hill to Mount Wellington. Quite a feat!
