Chris and all, I hope this forum improves and that you all have a lovely
Christmas although the snow is no longer my scene. I'm off to a barbie
today in the sun by the upper Yarra river.
Merry Christmas to everybody, and I agree about the forum, I can only get to
it in the evenings now since it was blocked at work, same as e-scouts,
apparently they are "social networking - blocked for your own protection and
security", whcih is bloody handy.
I also can't access youtube, (which has loads of good stuff for school),
google images search, again good for school, facebook, not really needed at
school, wikipedia, sourceforge, anything regarded as "opensource"
(apparantly by definition all must be bad) but this isn't just my school its
the whole council!
A very Merry Christmas to one and all! May the New Year bring you all you
need to deliver the very best Scouting and Guiding for your young people.
As to the social networking sites, the college which is foolhardy enough to
pay my wages has allowed them since the beginning of this academic year -
some media courses have social networking modules in them! It's a real pain
in the ***@5e and a constant source of moans and complaint from teaching
staff. The student council uses them to keep in contact with the youngsters
etc. "It's all down to student management".
