Kids teaching kids (and adults)

Our children are amazing! This week a group of our year six Tech Wizard's took part in a children's conference in Australia but they did it all from the comfort of the Village. 

The conference was being held in Victoria and our children were beamed in via Skype to teach some of the participants how to make their own blogs. They spent several hours working on laptops, video conferencing and emailing the Australian children. It was incredible to watch and hugely successful.

Earlier in the week we entertained a group of 35 teachers from around the South Island; Tech Wizards came to the fore again, this time teaching the adults. There is nothing so amazing as watching 11 year old children confidently talking to a large group of adults and teaching the teachers how to use new technologies.
