HOWTO help children imagine they are at home *OR* HOWTO setup a home computer like they are at school (for adults)

I recently spotted a message to the BECTA Safetynet Mailing list from Miles Berry and Terry Freedman.
The message mentioned how they are doing a presentation at BETTS conference in January (apparently some big education conference thingy!) and since they are doing it on

What are your kids learning when you're not looking?

where they explore things young people learn using computers and IT outside the formal education sphere and activities widely recognised as being educationally beneficial.

To get some hard figures on this they set up a questionnaire for young people to fill asking them of their experiences of how they could and do use computer facilities at home and in educational establishments.

Due to my work with DFEY, I couldn't help but see the funny side of this, so I wrote these satiric HOWTOs:

Enjoying the Sun while it lasted!Glossop enduring the rain...

Then and Now

A few months ago there was glorious sunshine which let me sit outside in the garden doing work. These days, in August, which is meant to be the hottest month, we have had some immense downpours and very little "good weather" to write home about. :(

oh well...

One of my College friends, who has a unhealthy habit of photoshopping, created this image for lulz.

My Favorite Book

I'd like to share a few thoughts with you about a book I've been reading recently, which has really inspired me whilst being greatly amusing.
At Barcamp Manchester, they were giving away copies of this book; I picked up one to look at later - I could always ebay it later. Never before has a book of such calibre caused me so much amusement, I seriously recommend this book for it's outstanding range of comic delights.

Today, one of my friends asked me where Canada was, and then believed me when I told them it was a State of the USA.
It reminded me of this image, which I first saw pinned to the wall of my college's geography department:
