Learning Place - AMAZING!!!!!

I was talking to a friend of mine, who is a primary school teacher, about the whole new world of technology that I have been introduced to in ICT. I was expressing my confusion and uncertainty regarding the implications that blogs, wikis and online media had in today's classrooms. She took me to a website called Learning Place (http://education.qld.gov.au/learningplace/). This website gave a comprehensive example of how the digital-native children of today learn. On there they can access their homework, play educational games on current units of study, watch tutoring videos, interact with their teachers through blogs as well as a multitude of other amazing avenues of learning. THIS is why we are learning how to use blogs, etc!!! Because teachers and learners of today already are "logged on" to this digital world. It is definitely a great real-world application of teaching in digital environments.
