I was tagged by Dan Stucke for this one, which was initiated by Miguel Guhlin.

I had to reflect for a while before picking this screenshot of GapMinder, a superb piece of software that provides visualisations of global development data. I guess I would like the young people passing through my life to pick up an understanding of the really big issues affecting the globe. I’m sure that I don’t do enough in my lessons to achieve that aim!

On the picture, the dark blue dots represent Sub-Saharan African countries.

I tag John, Neil, David, Tess and Stuart.
