This site is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.
‘The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.’ Albert Einstein
This is a video made by young learners in a primary school in Birmingham, UK. Teachers helped them produce it but it is the children's own work and the opinions are theirs.The simple points they make concern their desire for schools to allow them to use technology they find useful elsewhere in their lives. They feel it would be useful for their learning too.

You will need to look at some sort of 'safe' collaborative networking site where students can talk and discuss. The Classroom Wiki and Blogs will be one forum.
Classroom Spaces
Our classrooms are so small so we have to make the most of what we have got. Ewan McIntosh talks about spaces (virtual or real gathering around the fireplace) for students to meet and moveable walls. Think about making small rooms (spaces) in your classroom. Use you furniture creatively. Kids like to lie on the floor, kneel at a kneeler, sit on a step, loll on a couch or a beanbag, sit in a big comfy chair. Use cardboard trellis to create the walls that make the spaces. Children do not have to sit in any one particular area or even on the mat.

Small StepsTake small steps to change - you don't have to have everything immediately - do things in small steps, a 5 degree turn. Start with a blog or a wiki or facebook or twitter - if you don’t already explore social networking. Explore ipads, ipods, iphones and try out some applications. If you need help please ask people are only too willing to share their knowledge.
