Shakespeare Online

Dear All,

It's been a long while since our last mention of the Bard... April 2009 to be exact. Never too late to make it up to him I suppose. Shakespeare Online offers a wealth of information on all things Shakespeare, plays, sonnets, analysis, timeline, glossary, etc. You've probably visited it before, as it's been running since 1999 (!) but always worth revisiting. The fortune teller can be lots of fun with young people and a way to memorise a few famous quotes. I've asked 'What should I do?' and got a reply from Hamlet, Let your own discretion be your tutor.

Enjoy it all!

A Parents' Guide to Facebook

Dear All

If you work with young Facebook users and you'd like to find out more about it, check out 'A Parents' Guide to Facebook'. It helps parents (and teachers) understand what Facebook is and how to use it safely. You can read it online or download the pdf and print it out for easy reference.

Hope you find it useful.

Cheers
