Netbook Reflection 2013

Netbook Reflection 2013

How has having a netbook connected to the internet helped my learning this year?

I learnt how to tell the time with my teacher, and I learnt by myself how to use Wikipedia and Google to search for facts and use Tux Paint.  I learnt how to insert bookmarks and go on the class site from my friends.  I learnt fractions and decimals from a librarian in the after school care.  I helped a new student open/create a new document, log in to google, how to make bookmarks, and how to go on websites.  Having a netbook helped me to relate to others by using Gmail, helped my thinking skills by an app that teach you how to work out hard equations, how to learn numbers and text by Xtra maths and Ebooks, it helped me managing self by having all the things on the class site and I don’t need to ask anyone very often.  I learned how to participate and contributing by playing team sports.

Water Experiment


On Monday 2nd December, Sally from Watercare came to teach us about where water goes after we flushed it down the toilet, sink, bath and shower.  At the end we did an experiment, where we mixed some salt into containers of water and add food colorings.  Then we made a rainbow with the food colorings in a little tube by holding our thumbs at one end and the other end will not drip.  Sally said that the more salt you put in, the more dense it is.  It will sink if its dense.  The water you used this morning might be drank by a dinosaur once!
