Hi Alice,Re: Researching a topic on the internet........
I agree the kids have always used computers and then when I checked their homework I would ask them questions it made them careful to make sure they really understood and hadn't just copied swathes of text. I think that should be done in school but sadly targets etc mean they have less time to teach about things and seem to just want to get them through exams.Re: Researching a topic on the internet........
Re: Researching a topic on the internet........
I was one of those children who was always asking questions - who, why, where, etc., my ever patient Aunt being the usual victim of my interrogations. She would smile sweetly and say "Child, see if you can find out for yourself - if you cannot - ask me again tomorrow and I will tell you". Nine times out of ten I did find out for myself (we lived near the library) but it always amazed me that, if I had to ask her again, Auntie Chris knew the answer. I grew up believing that she knew everything and was in my early 20s before she revealed that she was buying time to go and look things up!Re: Researching a topic on the internet........
