weekend in France

I have just returned from a wonderful weekend in France with some fabulous people. Most of them were under 12 and for some it was their first time abroad. We went to a typical French market where they spent their euros, visited a chocolate factory and a goat farm (chocolate and cheese mmmm) and experienced a cracking activity day. Zip wire in the snow. Wow. For most of the children the activity experience was very challenging. Climbing the very steep ladder leading to the very small platform was an experience in itself but then launching yourself off into the void was very brave especially for some. It was also extremely cold!!!! But I wouldnt have missed it for the world!!

overdue posting

I was asked the other day whether I blogged. "Yes" I lied!! I felt bad because I knew that I hadnt posted for AGES. So there we are...... the impetus to 'get on with it'.
So what do I have to talk about.... well yesterday I went on a course for work that was dedicated to ICT in education. Is ICT going to revolutionize learning? Not next week but in the future, yes I believe it will. But the speakers were preaching to the converted! The message has to get to the policy makers ie the government!! ho hum.
