Is anyone making much use of the internet in their setting. (As practitioners and from the point of view of the children). Do children go on the internet much? What do they go on? What about you? How serious would it be if you lost your internet connection? I'm thinking Nursery settings particularly - (from the perspective of someone considering the best sort of training to provide). Many thanks in advance. Dugh
