As part of the University based science course wevhave had the opportunity to watch a Science lesson with a year 3 class and then ask questions to the children and teacher. This was an fantastic experience for the science content alone, but was extremely important as a use of technology. This could ne used within the classroom to speak to other school children around the world (as an extension to being pen-pals and letter writing), it could also be used as a means to get guest speakers into the classroom. However as with any use of technology children need to be aware when it is used, that they have to be careful of who they are in contact with over the internet and not to give out personal details.
