Netbooks

Having Netbooks in our class and now that it is our very own is a great experience for us. Last year was the year where we were still trialing it out and the years have skimmed right past us. Already you know we get to take it home and it is a magnificent feeling inside.

On the Netbooks you can do so much there's blogging, chatting, playing games, emailing. It is so fun because it keeps you connected with your friends and it's so addictive. Soon when we own it, I want to download some music, photos, footage and more stuff.

So far on the Netbooks we've been creating our own graphs and learning about statistics. It is a really cool way to learn, it gives us information and it shows a better way of understanding info. We've also been finishing our post off and our class survey.

The time we get to go on our Netbooks, is the most interesting learning part in our literacy. I am really excited about going on our Netbooks in the morning most of the time and I can't wait to take them home.

Studying a new way

All the times that we presented, conferenced and shared why we want this Netbook so badly, has finally payed off. Actually fulfilling our dreams of getting our Netbooks, and now we have the opportunity to muck around with it and use it for learning for the rest of the term.

We're posting this piece of writing to share the cool experience with you. It was a exhilarating feeling for me to be able to be the first year sevens in the Tamaki cluster to use our flash Netbooks. Can't wait until next year when we actually keep them!
