Our computer teacher is very special!

On Tuesday I opened our local newspaper and found a picture of 'our' computer teacher.Her smiling face was amongst several others in the group all taken in Mauritius.Fiona Beal had just received a Silver Medal for her 'Bonding through Blogging' program.This program had all the Grannies and Grandpas coming to the classroom on a Thursday at 11 to learn about their computers,share their childhood stories with the children,and enjoy a cup of tea and 'children baked' dainties.The children showed us how they had been in contact with children all over the world,In fact,my grandson,David rushes to my house on Friday afternoons to see if any of his 'friends' have added on to his blog.He knows children in Brazil,Canada,China and here at home.I think that it is Wonderful.Fiona has shown the children that they can extend their horizons way past the edges of their lives,and that they can become friends with many other children.Fiona Beal might be tiny but she ROCKS!!!!!
