In our discussion about teaching children we forgot to mention social
media like Facebook.
Last year shorty after I was elected President of my Branch of the
Australian Lace Guild, I set up a state Facebook page as an outreach
tool. Go out to the market place where the young hang out. Most of my
regulars are people like me but at a recent craft fair I told the young
ones to find us on Facebook and the affirming looks were great and our
'likes' jumped.
Yesterday I used it to affirm the show results for 2 children who do not
even live in my state. I offered their teacher to put up the winning
entries on Facebook. She sent me photos of the winning entries and up
they went with a bit of a buzz and affirmation from the State Facebook
friends.

We are all part of a very small world even if distances between us are
the size of a planet
