2013 Netbook Reflection {Final}

Before.

The 21st century has more modern ways to learn. For example, the Manaiakalani cluster schools now use  netbooks. The basic way to explain this, we have gone digital.


As a year 6 student of Pt England, I have had my netbook for a period of 3 years, and to be honest I have no clue what education was like before that. As well as it being our school digital device, it has been in the homes of students, bags and other places. Whether it was for education, freetime, television or communication.


In the past 4 terms, our 3 teachers in our classrooms  have been teaching us all kinds of things. Whether it to do with Maths, Reading or Writing. This year there was one significant  thing that I learnt and that was what our year 6 ambassadors do, being seen around the world.


The number one thing that I like about my awesome, netbook is that I can learn from the internet. At times when I am bored, I enjoy learning how to play different songs on the online piano. Fantastic!  I learn At  any Pace, At any Place and from anyone, And that anyone is definitely the internet.

This digital device, has helped me to improve on my key competencies. Working with others is so easy to do, sharing docs, presentation, spreadsheets and working together to finish out work.

Drawing and paintings are boring but, with the help of  our digital devices we are able to create a visual image, movie, animation simply by using applications, on our devices

The 21st century has more modern ways to learn. For example, the Manaiakalani cluster schools now use  netbooks.

As well as it being our school digital device, it has been in the homes of students, bags and other places. Weather it was for education, freetime, television or communication.


In the past 4 terms, our 3 teachers in our classrooms  have been teaching us all kinds of things. Either it to do with Maths, Reading or Writing. This year there was one significant  thing that I learnt and that was what our year 6 ambassadors do, is being seen around the world. Which means, our ambassadors are not just seen by visitors that they present to, they are seen by the global world. Which I think is significant.


The number one thing that I like about my awesome, netbook is that I can learn from the internet. At times when I am bored, I enjoy learning how to play different songs on the online piano. Fantastic!  I learn At  any Pace, At any Place and from anyone, And that anyone is definitely the internet.


Using netbooks in these past few years has helped me be able to become better at all my learning subjects. Our netbooks, are all connect to the internet at school, and it might be for most of us at home too. The TLN enables all the student that live in the area to connect, to the network at home.


Learning things from the young students has been a pleasure. I mean learning how to play minecraft, from a student younger than you, isn't that just amazing? This year, I have learnt a whole bunch of things, learning Speech with Mr S and Mr Marks, Getting taught our prize giving item from students, what can I say?


This digital device, has helped me to improve on my key competencies. Working with others is so easy to do, sharing docs, presentation, spreadsheets and working together to finish our work. Drawing and paintings are boring but, with the help of  our digital devices we are able to create a visual image, movie, animation simply by using applications, on our devices.


Having the opportunity to be creative is awesome. If you visit our school you see a lot of drawings/paintings around the school. Creating images have been great, making movies and animating on it is amazing too. It has been a pleasure to have digital devices that has drawing apps.

The past 3 years, have been the most best 3 years of my life. I mean working digitally and having the chance to be creative has been a wonderful opportunity. Our devices have been helping us succeed in all our subjects.



Above is my reflection about my Netbook. I have done before and after, so that you can see the differences between my 1st story and my 2nd story. I have explained the 2nd story and I have added a few more paragraphs.
