Agreement 2.0

There were q lot of comment amongst my blogging community about the Panorama programme – One click from danger, Doug Ewan and John being just two. While there was approval some for the sensible suggestions to keep children safe the feeling was it was over sensational. playing on parents fear of the unknown (web 2.0) and would discourage parents, and schools, from allowing their children access to web 2.00 and all it can offer for learning.

Sean the Bass Player, student 2.0 hoping to be studying at School 2.0, also responded from his point of view and took the opportunity to share his tips for internet safety , which one or two schools have then shared with their pupils. He often comments on the constraints the school/LA network protection put on his learning. Here we have all generations in agreement, working and learning together.

Happy Birthday Paddington Bear

Its the big 5 0 for Paddington today " 50 Years via kwout He's having a tour of the London in a Black Cab to celebrate and there's a photo competition for those lucky enough to see him, (see the site) Think of the number of children who have laughed about and enjoyed his stories over the years, he was certainly a regular visitor to my classroom over the years, and how many of them knew where Peru was on the world map but not their own town! Off to drag my duffel coat out of the cupboard to wear while I drink cocoa and eat marmalade sandwiches virtually with, Simon Mills who has just let me know about it via Twitter, and anyone one else celebrating.
