Digital Natives
Teepees for the 'Digital Natives' at the conference
The weather now is turning quite Autumnal, but the temperature is still well above average with no frost yet. The Busy Lizzies and Marigolds in my garden are still thriving! Its half term and the last week brought the ICT Conference which was thoroughly enjoyable with Will Richardson from the USA giving a great insight into Blogging. Check out the Will Richardson Blog with loads of stuff about the conference.
On the Astro theme...kids pick things up so easily, they are Digital Natives, technology is part of their lives! Older people however can be called Digital Imigrants, the technology is there but we are learning. So can we get the kids to turn to the skies and look at the technology that brings us images of objects light years away and sends spaceships to image the outer planets? I'm trying...by using the Robotic Telescopes, kids can have time on the Faulkes Telescope and request jobs to the Bradford Robotic Telescope and we are doing that. Let's see what happens!
