Not funny - but thought provoking! Sarah :-)

[] a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

[] This project was created to inspire teachers to use technology in engaging ways to help students develop higher level thinking skills. Equally important, it serves to motivate district level leaders to provide teachers with the tools and training to do so.

Nothing to do with 'the plan' but check out [|www.vistaprint.com.au] - it's my new favourite online shop. You can personalise and order everything from pens to hats to postcards (great personalised certificates for the classroom!) you can get bags and banners and signs - and a lot of the time the actual product is **free** - you only pay for postage. Honestly once you start you'll never stop!!

[] - great 'educational' games! [] - brilliant - my kids beg to play this game. The demo version has quite a bit in it but it's only just over $20 Australian for the whole version - brilliant for the IWB - a very collaborative game - the music is also very calming *lol* [] - time waster... but looks great on the IWB :-)

[] is an site where files can be converted and then a link sent to your email address to aviod the block if you do not have the password to over ride.
