" Primary school pupils should learn how to blog and use internet sites like Twitter and Wikipedia and spend less time studying history, it is claimed. A review of the primary school curriculum in England will be published in a final report next month. "
(from WMUK list via Thomas Dalton)
It should be made clear that this is just a proposal from the person doing the review, it is some way off actually being included in the National Curriculum. Hopefully WMUK will be able to get involved if it is, though - we've been discussing working with schools for a while already, so it looks like we'll have more schools interested in having us visit if this goes ahead!
