"It became increasingly clear that the trial was not simply about restricting child pornography or other such illegal material, but a much wider range of issues including what the government simply describes as 'unwanted material' without an explanation of what that includes," Malone said in a statement. Malone said that although everyone was against child pornography, the filtering trial would not help keep it away from Australian internet users.

NXT Lego robotics

shared by Steve Madsen on 26 Dec 08 - Cached

Robotics is fast becoming an integral part of the school curriculum with it's ability to integrate across a broad range of topics, most notably the Technology, Science and Math Key Learning Areas. Robotics encourages kids to think creatively, analyse situations and apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to real world problems. Teamwork and co-operation are a cornerstone of any robotics project. Students learn it is acceptable to make mistakes, especially if it leads them to better solutions. Robotics is a fun and engaging way to teach fundamental technology, maths and science concepts.

shared by Tony Searl on 13 May 10 - Cached

we do a lot of school to students, instead of telling them and explaining to them, what is our vision? Why are we giving them laptops? It's not because they deserve them. It's because we expect something to change in education. Why aren't we telling them these things? Why aren't we sharing our vision with them, because they can help?
