How about a light hearted read for the hols? Hollywood films often have had computers as part of the plot and some interesting ideas about computers have emerged. Have a read and a chuckle.

The benefits of 3D in Education?
There is a current trend in producing 3D movies and along with TV companies trying to out do each other in developing the best 3D Television system - not to mention gaming devices going 3D! What about 3D in education. This article about a 3D trial in classroom makes for interesting reading. I have no experience myself with 3D other than watching a film but will be interested to see where this leads....?

Is teaching using technology optional?
We all know a few people who are cynical about using technology - especially in teaching and all points of view have some validity. This blog post raises the debate again. One of the things I think about is if we ignore the activities (incl technologies) that young people involve themselves in we run the risk of being seen as irrelevant in their eyes and they will be less likely to engage and listen to us. The importance of communication and discussion can not be forgotten and if we want to advise young people about appropriate behaviors then we need to understand where they are coming from.
quote "This is not about technology. This is about connecting and sharing with others and yes, technology can be a fantastic medium for this. It is still ultimately about the relationships you create"
Technology is a great way to connect with your students!
