So often I hear complaints relating to poor technological implementations.
(see my comments at:
http://efoliointheuk.blogspot.com/2009/12/passion-and-learning.html)
However, the reason for writing this post is to draw your attention to an
excellent video at:
http://k12online.ning.com/video/engaging-our-youngest-minds
What Angela writes about engaging our youngest pupils is surely true of all
age groups? The 'Wow!' factor we so often look for should not be about the
technical innovation so much as the learning outcomes and the enjoyment of
the processes in getting there.
