The following two emails were sent to me by the fabulous ToniTwiss for your edification. The article on philosophy in the previous post was also from her.

"You may have seen this but thought your kids might be interested

is very funny - and is along the lines of people getting frustrated with people (ie. the whole of NZ) giving Hamilton a bad name"

"After reading your students' post about gravity I found this game
http://www.king.com//game/splitter
You are the little yellow ball that you have towards your goal. You have a knife and have a certain number of cuts you are allowed at each level. Some objects can be moved but not cut, so for example if you are on a piece of wood you can cut that and it will fall therefore because of gravity the ball will start to roll too. I made it to level 3 - but I am not very clever!"

can we hold back the future? Actually it's already here [for teachers]
Are you a visionary, an early adopter, a blocker, or something in between?
What are your fears/hopes/dreams? Do you have ideas on how to move forward with the meaningful integration of ICT into learning so we can engage our students in their world, with their future in mind?
Please feel free to share here, and don't be afraid of the fact that my students will be reading this - it affects them too, so they may as well be part of the debate. It's their learning afterall...even if they don't always get it [- do you Room5ians!!!] ;-)
I have been inspired by "Tonitones" [eFellow of Twitter fame and insightful blogger] to work towards a positive goal, rather than being held back and disheartened.
Hold on to your passion. Find solutions. Be positive. Set some achieveable goals and work towards. Share and celebrate your achievements - don't be shy. Take a risk - you may inspire someone else.
It's a pretty cool challenge actually - almost like being a learning activist - LoL :-)
Hooray for Tonitones!!! A young woman with much wisdom.
[- get the feeling I'm talking to myself here? C'est la blog vie ;-) ]
