1:1 Netbooks Day 1

After much anticipation and excitement over the past few weeks, students in years 3-6 who opted into our netbook program were finally given their computers! It was a very busy day as all students were excited to get on and personalise their machines and see what they could do.

We set up a OneNote notebook to keep all of our school work we complete on the netbooks in one safe place. We created folders for each term and for our different subjects. This term we have folders set up for Reading, Writing, Word Work, Maths and Inquiry.  As a first activity to help us get used to our netbooks and using OneNote we added our spelling words to our Word Work folder and wrote them in interesting sentences. After that we were able to video or audio record ourselves reading the sentences. We thought it was great.


During the day we also got to use the netbooks in Maths to go on Mathletics and one group made a fraction wall in Microsoft Word.

We can't wait to keep learning with our netbooks!

What are you looking forward to with your netbook?
How do you think it will help you at school and at home?
What is your favourite thing about having a netbook so far?

    Dear Room 10

    I really like your blog and how you have set it up.
    We have 8 netbooks that are available for our class to book at our school and the school really enjoys them. I’m sure you will all like them as well. They are great for going on different sites like mathletics.

    What do you like best about your netbooks? I hope you all have a great time with your new machines.

    Yours sincerely

    Dear room 10
    It is really cool that we have our own netbooks. We use our netbooks in class to help us to explore information on the internet and to help us publish our wonderful work. Our netbooks can also entertain us if it was raining outside our classroom, we could play games and other things on our netbooks.

    Cool regards

    Dear Grade 5/6,

    I think this video shows how much we have been doing in class and it is such a great help with our netbooks. It is so much easier to store things in, rather then having workbooks. We still do use workbooks though for some things.
