Seeing the future from the past.

Today I had the privilege of speaking at the Tauranga Senior Net AGM. While a lot of what I had to say was new to the group their enthusiasm and interest in education really encourages me in my, at times evangelical approach to using ICT in schools today. At the conclusion of the keynote I answered their questions as best I could and in particular they were interested in similar issues to teachers – identity/net safety and values. It’s great to be able to talk to groups like this and sometimes I feel in the secondary system we miss the chance to really share our vision with parents. As I was able to with this group.

This I guess is really where blogging comes in. Improving the home-school link. I particularly enjoyed showing the screen shot from the moodle logs where all the forum discussions were happening after five pm. A great example of anytime anywhere learning.
