19. (Feedback 3 from Penny Gilmer re Tallahassee School Presentation Feb 2007 The presentation worked fine, and I was in Julie Sear's classroom with middle school kids. I had brought prisms and a red and a green laser with me. There was just enough sunshine that we got the set of colors from the prism left in the window ledge on the white board where your MediaSite presentation was shown. Seeing what happened to the laser in the prism was really cool, seeing reflected light and the path of the refracted light. Julie got some photographs. I was enthralled with it all. The school is very appreciative. I did ask the children to write down their questions for me, to get an idea of their thinking, and to help us in the future. Julie was full of interesting questions and observations as well.

20. (Feedback 4 from Colin Byfleet re Tallahassee School Presentation Feb 2007 Both classes (11- and 14-year-olds) seemed pleased to have both the presentation and a visitor. The children were absorbed by the presentation. They were full of questions afterwards about spectra, stars, atoms etc. and I was chatting to both groups for about an hour each. I have some of their questions in the lab. I think the staff appreciated the visit a good deal. The presentation provoked good questions and the children were involved. The day occupied Penny for about two hours and me for about 4. This we couldn't manage for all schools. Perhaps we might think about some extra material to support the staff with a lecture of this sort.

21. (Feed(From Alexander Busold 24th Feb 2007, currently at St. Edward's Oxford School) I was really impressed by the presentation we have seen at St. Edwards Oxford School made by you about your work, science in general, and why it is worth it to become a scientist. I just recently thought about this brilliant film and how it fascinated me and I would like to see it again and show it to some of my friends. Is it possible to get it somewhere? I could not find it on your homepage or homepage related sites. I would be really glad to see it again APPENDIX B Feedback on educational issues (non-technical) of GEO presentations Feedback 1From: Julian Baker St Edwards School Oxford UK Dear Harry, Well we pulled it off and the presentation went like a dream. The kids were remarkably focused and listened with unusual concentration to your pitch. I was of course completely absorbed by what you said and found it both inspirational and fascinating. Thank you from me for making this happen. All the best, Julian Feedback 2 From Robert Fletcher St Edwards School Oxford UK Dear Harry, I wanted to thank you for all your hard work in compiling the talk for us today. I hope it was obvious from the sixth form reaction that it was very much appreciated; we certainly found it very interesting. (You were actually speaking to me at the end, after Julian Baker had dialled you.) I think the whole event made us more alert to what we can do in future with e-presentations, and it was exciting for us to have to think about those issues, as well as the things you raised for us in the presentation.
