This article from Daily Mail (UK) discusses teenagers preferring the internet to real life. Something to consider when children are learning on the internet is their vulnerability. We talked in the symposiums about uni students not necessarily being able to tell the validity of stuff on the internet so what about young teenagers and children? There are far more concerning things than knowing if an article is academic or not like cyber bullying. I think children should definitely be learning by doing but there should be guidance, from both teachers and parents. I am not sure of the curriculum for primary aged children at school now when it comes to learning about the internet but I’d be interested to find out.

I saw this clip today and was completely fascinated by it. It puts things into perspective and you realise how massive the universe and all its galaxies are. It is this endless space that is ongoing and if you think about it in relation to the world wide web and the endless possibilities- we have infinite amounts of knowledge at our fingertips. Truly amazing.
