Earth Calendar

Long time! Hope everyone is having a great Summer – I am although being ‘internetless’ does stop me from posting!

I saw this on the wonderful http://www.freetech4teachers.com and thought I’d share – especially useful if you want to celebrate something every single day… http://www.earthcalendar.net//index.php – it says that on my birthday this year (10th October if anyone is interested!) I could also be celebrating ‘Double Tenth Day’ in Taiwan (??), ‘Moi Day’ in Kenya (??) OR (my favourite) World Mental Health Day – maybe I should take a mental health day – yes it’s a Sunday but, in Dubai, we work on Sundays… :(

Check it out and let me know what else you could be celebrating on your birthday…!

World’s Smallest Houses…!

Wow – some of these are VERY cool – the World’s Smallest Houses… I like this one the best – I think it is very clever and I would love to live here – it would have to be without Mrs Potts, Abi & Josh though!

Interesting infographic…

This is why YOUR learning is changing – your access to different technologies! It’s quite scary how things have changed since I went to school…!!!
