The kids we teach…. | Educational Resources Online!

https://kayc28.wordpress.com/2007/09/08/the-kids-we-teach

Keeping you up to date in the world of education! The kids we teach…. I have some friends whose five year old is working with his Dad to build his own computer. His mum told me that he cried one day when he couldn’t pause the free to air television so he could get a drink – free to air television was such a foreign experience that he couldn’t comprehend why he didn’t have control over it like everything else he watched online and on his Xbox. That’s my rant for today! Have fun. Kay. Subscribe to my Blog.

I think it is pretty necessary we don’t bury our heads in the sand! So…. any suggestions? Have you used it?

Keeping you up to date in the world of education! Wow – What a World of Widgets! In web 2.0. It has been over three years since I last posted on this blog. In the time that has elapsed, I’ve completed a Masters in Education, been a teacher librarian, and am not the Education Officer for Digital Learning at ResourceLink, Brisbane Catholic Education’s information and resourcing service. I’m going to widget-ify it! Games, links, timers, animations – you name it, there’s a widget for it. You bet it does!
