I have been building some ideas to be placed on the site and hope to add them soon. My most recent lesson is based in context, allowing the content to follow.

I've started to revisit some of it. -Ihor Very important idea. Context IS everything. Have you made any more progress in thinking about the contextual curriculum?

]]> Comment on Internet in Schools: An Asset or a Liability by simonchappell http://fibothinks.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/internet-in-schools-an-asset-or-a-liability/#comment-14 simonchappell Mon, 09 Mar 2009 08:23:50 +0000 http://fibothinks.wordpress.com/?p=112#comment-14 I think with proper direction the internet is an exciting prospect for education. You have the opportunity to use the tools that students are interested in to engage them. I think you will be ill advised not to use all the tools available to deliver engaging exciting lessons. There is a potential downside but you can not punish the many just because a few may abuse it. With a proper acceptable use policy and parental enforcement the plus out weighs the minus.
