As a teacher I couldn't agree more with these articles. We need to realise that children of today's generation have fantastic potential, as children have always had, and as parents we don't always recognise this nor do we encourage this potential in the appropriate way. This is often because we are unaware of how they are learning. Generations change their methods according to what is available and in today's technological revolution this is where children go. As teachers we should use these modern tools to help our students. Just as we teach them how to read, we should now teach them how to surf the web effectively (although some seem to do a very good job and teach US how to do this) Teaching is not a one way process so this is surely an excellent way to have real interaction with both your children and your students. As usual I have become absorbed in the subject, my screen, the Internet and unfortuately I must go back to the mundane jobs of everyday life. Parents beware - surfing the web is so absorbing for children there is no time left for your children to tidy their bedrooms - and of course that is so BORING.
