They do interactive stuff very easily and this is a safe place to go on the internet for kids. Marigold is one of five schools which have already subscribed to the Internet stop, and the Dodoland adventure is also available on disk. The project was developed as part of the Swiftsure Arcade, an internet project underwritten by the provincial and federal governments to showcase creative activities, including writing and visual art. The project at Marigold School is also running in conjunction with the Community Arts Council of Victoria. Jo Randall-Williams of the arts council said that one of the the group's mandates is to take art to the community and for this access through the schools is ideal.
Artistic skills are applicable to mant things from architecture to computer design.
