Game consoles in classrooms?

In his blog, EdTe.ch, Tom Barrett write about his experience of using game consoles in the classroom.

 He believes that the console should have a well deserved place in the primary classroom as a media platform. He acknowledges that it is what you do with that engaged group of children that counts.   Check out the images.

I can see the potential for Consoles in Classrooms, especially after examining what the students

were able to  achieve using Endless Ocean.

The Outback visits Sydney Australia.-video created from Flickr images.

 Wonderful reflective piece-Well done to Stu Hasic .

September 23, 2009 - The Outback visits Sydney Australia. A massive dust storm - the largest in over 100 years blew millions of tonnes of dust from Central Australia across a front more than 600km wide, turning the Sydney sky red, then orange then yellow and coating everything with fine dust.



These images were all sourced from Flickr where over 2,500 such images were posted today. Of course, which other song could go with this than "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas.
