One by one they're coming in ;-) Mrs Vernon tell us about the new and old mobile classrooms. Hard for me to keep my mental map of the school up to date. I can foresee another visit up to pretty Prestatyn (oh goodie ;-)
Hope the school has won against the council's take over of their playing field.

Laptop Campus: Bane or Boone?
There's bee some discussion in the US edublogoshpere re an article in the Wall Street Journal Saying No to School Laptops which criticises the free handing out of laptops in some US schools. Essentially, parents and some teachers are saying that kids aren't using them properly. Aimless surfing, playing games etc.
Cool Cat Teacher says that aimless anything leads to failure. Structured use leads to higher grades.
I agree. Aimless pencil use leads to lower grades too. Same for paper. Give kid a piece of paper, likely they'll make a paper aeroplane, not write a symphony.

Google expert or dropout?
Developing Internet Comprehension Strategies among Poor, Adolescent Students at Risk to Become Dropouts: Study aims to improve internet literacy: "This fall, students at a handful of schools in Connecticut and South Carolina will learn how to read, understand, and critically evaluate internet search results using an experimental new technique."
Learn to appraise authority in search results. That is; don't believe all you read or you'll be a drop out?
"The internet--and particularly search engines--present students with a whole new type of reading comprehension they must master... Eighty percent of adolescents don't read Google search-engine results, largely because they don't know how to read them or to figure out which hit is the one that will help them."
"Various middle schools to review a web site devoted to a made-up endangered species, called the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. All but one student fell for the hoax, and all but one said the site was "very credible."
