I thought this was so powerful I thought I’d share with you. I’ll probably use it on some of our training events in Highland.
This wee clip is NAPCAN’s latest campaign for a Child Friendly Australia. I first saw this clip through a colleague’s blog, Ewan MacIntosh.

After a good long summer break from blogging, I’m back with a bounce with a brand new site for you to explore!
Click the link to find out more about Crofting Connections, I’m a member of the steering group and was only too happy to help out with setting up the blog and email addresses.
Crofting Connections is a fantastic way to provide a rich learning task for providing opportunities for learning outcomes that cut across the whole curriculum. The site tells you more.
The techy bit..the site is a wordpress.com blog that has multi-user functionality, so that means that all involved in the project can update the site, schools can post news and keep the site current. The site however is self-hosted, which means we have our very own domain site, www.croftingconnections.com which serves as a platform for the wordpress site.
It was relatively easy to set up by using a company called www.uk2.net and with the ‘home’ package I got 50 free email addresses linked to the domain name and IT backup help for a year.
This worked out at about £65 a year. Not cheap really, but when you think how much people pay for IT company to set something like that up, it’s cheap as chips (or should that be carrots)
Please enjoy the project and see how it develops…
