Hmmm - the sand and glare issue isn't appealing to me any more. But I do know of a lovely cafe on Manly beach in Sydney that is wireless. So how about a lovely coffee, a beach view and running the LAMS session It will take a bit of planning to run a whole LAMS class while on excursion. Maybe we should leave this for the really enthusiastic - like the Glenorie Primary school teachers (who have been known to run LAMS sessions for kindergarten/year 1)! Posted by Bronwen Dalziel

There's no beaches at Glenorie but we could always simulate one. We have a sandpit! We have been known to dress up in Tropical Island gear, take a few banana chairs from the sick bay and sit in the sun/shade drinking non-alcoholic cocktails that the Yr 6 have concocted for us (last yr's Yr 6 Fair) We had little umbrella thingys in our glasses...all we needed to complete the picture was a wireless laptop in Monitor mode...we could mark all our online Homework while the students do more enterprising things like run through a LAMS survey/forum/chat sequence about "do we spend too much time on our computers and not enough time on leisurely pursuits'?
