Buddy reading!


Moana 3 enjoys buddy reading on Friday's with Room 10.  Either they come and visit with us or we go and see them in Room 10.

There are always interesting stories to share and we mix buddies.  Sometimes our Room 10 friends read to us or we read to them or we read together!

You are never too old to enjoy a good picture book!

Showing your oldest blog-post first - and the rest in reverse order.

Blogger doesn't have an option to display your posts in reverse order - so that the oldest post is first, and the most recent post is last.   But this article describes displaying your posts in this way by manipulating their post dates.  And it links to an article about some other possible options. Previously I've discussed the options for giving your blog a home page.   One option is to organise the post-date for each of your posts, so that you control the order posts are displayed in.

The post-date is important because it control...

We all came to the conclusion that it depends.  It depends where it is and what the message is...  WHAT DO YOU THINK?  We would love to hear your feedback in the comments. Koka Ngaire took some photos of real life graffiti and street art in Melbourne - we had lots of discussion about those! Have a read through a couple of examples of our presentations.... from Kaya, Carys, Daniel B and Obe

How to keep your Blogger password safe

This QuickTip introduces a useful post about password management from Google. Giving computer or password-management advice to people who don't have lot of experience with IT has always been challenging: there is a lot of background information that you need to know before it all starts to make sense. And eaching colleagues to use a mouse back in the 1990s was a lot easier than explaining on-line services and security is in the twenty-teens!  I know that I'm not the only person who struggled to explain the difference between email and gmail to someone who just didn't understand " gmail is one type of software for doing emails " - he just kept asking "so what does fmail do?" To help with this challenge, Google have released a very carefully written article with advice about managing passwords. My guess is that lots of research went into working out exactly how much someone who uses a few on-line services needs to know, and how to explain it simply. Th...
