For those who like the YOUTUBE experience then the Podcasts are also available over there too.

It’ Movember Time

mrbtec — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:36:37 +0000

For those who don’t know, I have started a team in JP called The JP Mo Bro’s. Why? Well…

October is the month when we raise funds for women’s health issues. We never really do much for men’s health directly. Movember is our chance to do something to raise awareness of men’s health issues like Prostate and Testicular cancer and mental health issues. I joined the charity Movember and now Me, Mr McGorry, Craig and John from S6 are all growing a moustache to raise money for the charity.

It’s a great cause and I reckon as a team we are near £500 already so, dig deep, pledge what change you have in your pockets to us and perhaps we can change the face of men’s health!

We are a worldwide learning community!

You can’t deny that TmT has a worldwide audience, with the 1500+ blog hits, the Clustr Map results below and over 600 views on the YouTube channel. Thanks for all your support, and keep on watching.

This is a task for ALL my pupils. When you get the chance, please go HERE and complete my IT survey. No personal details will be stored or even asked for. I’m doing this so i can get an idea of the IT and computing equipment pupils in JP have access to.
