Many thanks to Susan Keith, who not only ran the TNT21 (Teaching News Terrifically in the 21st Century) competition but put the award-winning entries together in a booklet (link is below the post as I don’t think it will work in this cut-and-paste from http://aejmc.us/news/ [1]). Last night, she wrote this:
