How good news travels

Isn’t it amazing how news travels around the web. I clicked on this link that a good friend sent me. She is great at forwarding anything along educational lines that she thinks would be of interest.
I looked at it and was thinking it looked like an interesting website.

Once I looked at it I then realised that this was something that had come to me last week via another mailing list and I had already printed it out ready to read.
I guess it makes you realise that our world is getting smaller and that belonging to online communities ensures that someone will pass it on if they think it is important enough.
To me it illustrates the value and generosity of the online educational community. But it also illustrates the importance of teachers being part of this community. Not just because you are interested in ICT but because you must be informed and up to date.
