Netbook Handover

1. Netbook Handover is something that is brand new for this school. Thanks to a philanthropic donation these children are able to have netbooks in their hands. This will give them constant access to tools they need while learning how to be responsible for their netbooks as well. However beginning in 2011 the students will have to start leasing their own through the school.

Wireless Solution

2. Her second post was about having two different schools connected to each other wirelessly. She was absolutely amazing that this was happening. The connection is from Tamaki college to Pt. England school. They also have a TLN which is the Tamaki Learning Network.

Final Report on PLN

My final report on my PLN is that I have decided to stick with Symbaloo as my main organizer. It's absolutely amazing how organized it keeps my school life. All I have to do is pull up my symbaloo and everything is right in front of me. I will also continue to use twitter, blogger delicious and Skype on a daily basis and to be honest have been using all of them on a daily basis plus several times a day since last semester. I would really feel lost without symbaloo now!

C4K Summary

C4K Summary

I really enjoyed doing C4K. When you have college students commenting on your blog post it seems that they want to do more post and do the best they can do. If children have someone to show off their work to that alone drives them to do their best. Children need to feel important and heard no matter how interesting or boring the subject matter might be.

Yasmine

Yasmine is a student of Mr. St. Pierre's class. She was very frustrated at the fact that she was constantly writing blog post yet nobody was commenting on them. I'm sure as a young child that can be very disappointing so when I commented on her blog I just express that no matter what comments she gets or doesn't get that she should continue blogging for herself. It's a positive and educational activity to do daily.

Xavier

I was assigned to comment on Xavier class blog about a field trip he when on with his class. He e that he was able to hold a guinea pig and ducklings. He also mentioned having sugar cane. I can remember as a child my first time having sugarcane was on a field trip, and I just thought it was the neatest thing!
