Your point about schools using ESRI is of course similar to Microsoft's long-practiced strategy of providing "free" software to schools and colleges to persuade kids to believe MS is the only option. As for GIS alternatives, I'd have thought 6th formers could certainly cope with Scott Davis's excellent introduction to web-mapping "GIS for web developers", which would introduce them to a whole range of open source GIS tools, data etc. All sounds like fun.

Glad to hear you enjoyed my talk :-) I gave it again at geomob last week and the clock actually got applause! I thought your talk at Where2Now was very interesting and quite liked the mapchat demo you got going. Hi, thanks for the comments.
