The structure of the lesson is based upon the children comparing and rating three different sets of instructions for the same process – folding the t-shirt in 2 seconds. After working with each set of instructions for a little while we rated the quality of layout, organisation, clarity and suitability. We used a little grid that you can see below.

Welcome to JewishEncyclopedia.com
The only free Jewish encyclopedia on the Internet.
This website contains the complete contents of the 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, which was originally published between 1901-1906. The Jewish Encyclopedia, which recently became part of the public domain, contains over 15,000 articles and illustrations.This online version contains the unedited contents of the original encyclopedia. Since the original work was completed almost 100 years ago, it does not cover a significant portion of modern Jewish History (e.g., the creation of Israel, the Holocaust, etc.). However, it does contain an incredible amount of information that is remarkably relevant today.

Google’s 10th birthday
I went to google today to be greeted by their new sketch indicating that it is their 10th Birthday.
Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love Google. I’ve read everything I can find on them, and have even written a paper titled “Google: an exemplar of businesses using strategies encouraging workplace innovation while maintainting profitability”
Remember when there was no Google? Using human edited Directories to find information on the web, or having to know a URL? This morning I needed someone’s email address, and I actually just Googled their first name, their workplace and email address and I found their address this way.
Whenever I look for a new piece of software now, I check out Google products first. This has paid off in the classroom, in the use of Google Docs and Spreadsheets, Lively, Google Sketch up, and many others.
Check out Google Labs for a wide range of new stuff that they are developing.
