Just started reading the 'Essential information' you have look at before connecting your Senseboard and there is this little treasure:
'Some Senseboard activities involve measuring the temperature of water'
followed by:
'Avoid using your Senseboard in a damp or wet environment'!!!!!!!!!!
You can't make it up can you?!

It continues:
'The Senseboard is not a toy'
under Licences section it states:
'Scratch has been developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group'
It gets better and better. LOL

Rob, just out of interest, I noticed you said "booklets" I'm guessing they aren't fully fledged books then? How many pages per booklet are we talking?Well Barry it depends upon your definition of booklets.
They seem to be comprehensive enough its just the feel of them is more 'booklet' than book although if you say study books then that might meet their 'feel'.

I agree its someone to watch. There goes world peace! LOL!
In Teutonic style voice:
Today I hev my senseboard and tomorrow I hav the welt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Decisions decisions do I watch Tron Legacy or play with my senseboard?
I know its only science fiction but if you need an idea as to what technology 'could' do in the future then there is none better than the likes of 'Caprica' or 'Minority Report' (not the future crime ****e) but the retinal id stuff when boarding a train.
As some of this course deals with Ubiquitous Computing its worth a look just to remind you where technology is going.
And its not in the far future either.
The OU tells us just how old the web is and how long mobile phones have been around and now we have 'smartphones'.
What next?

This book I have been reading, 'Everywhere' by Adam Greenfield, about 'Ubiquitous Computing', has been heavy going even though its broken down in small bitesized chunks.
It has opened my eyes to the technological IT possibilities that could happen in the future. Such ideas being contemplated by techies in back rooms as I type.
Can't wait!

Hi Alison, I'm planning on doing B62 computing and IT. What about yourself? Any particular field you're interested in? All the best
Hi Barry
Just noticed this comment in response to Alison.
The B62 course is the route I am taking as well.
Plenty of time to decide on modules.
What route are you thinking about?
Cheers

They say that if you fiddle with it too much it'll either fall off or you'll go blind!
