Cheers for this! It's great to have you involved with edu4drr. I've just beeing going over the shakeout report today and will be writing a shortened educators guide, so that we can build on our experience and suggest useful tools for lessons before during and after the next. If you find any good videos on youtube etc you can upload them by clicking on the video's link here! Also when you get the chance have a look at the 'Resources' tab and look at the drills/plans section and comment on the lockdown stuff I wrote...Any good for your Borough by the way? Anyway keep in touch, I'll request you as a friend!
