Personalized learning VS core subject learning
I can’t claim to be an expert in this area but when I saw Malcolm’s blog post on this I thought he was bang on.
I learn to achieve a goal, not because a government tells me to learn, I have very little else to add to the argument!
Why we should be teaching blogging in school
Teaching kids how to use the technical aspects of blogs but what is more important is teaching them to be concious creators. The below video shows what happens if you lose focus and become consumed by the connectivity aspect of creativity. The video is 13 mins long but it’s an easy watch and I would recommend it if you are considering teaching blogging or any form of web based creativity..
Of course it’s slightly ironic that I’m blogging about blogging but you can ignore that based on the fact I have a financial interest in PrimaryBlogger

Simple up vote/down vote electronics project
This simple electronics project is a great idea for something kids could make in year 6 or so.. Or at least I think so!
It wont cost that much and I recon if you asked me nicely I could get the boards cut.
Thanks to Hack a day for the nod!
