Celia Heffernan, the
Online Content Producer at
the NSW Dept of Education and Training, recently asked me to write an article about virtual worlds for inclusion in a technology guide for parents.
The guide has now been published and I’m very flattered to see my article in there alongside material from my colleague Ross Monaghan.
Within its pages there is fabulous material, including a great refresher for even old hands like myself on the terms we use and what they mean. Sometimes we forget that not everyone knows what a blog is, or a tag. Doh!
It’s not just about internet technology, either; Ross wrote a great piece on mobile phones and kids, ‘Mobile Safety’.
The guide is entitled Click and you can download the full magazine or specific articles:
