Rising above frustration

Words cannot adequately describe how enthusiastic I was to be planning for the invasion of all things Web 2.0 into the daily life of Stage 3 this year. We have 16 fabulous netbooks to trial but NO INTERNET ACCESS - yes, I know I'm yelling..... I'm frustrated. With one PC connected to the good old cabled network I've decided to forge ahead even if it's a little tokenistic. Better tokenism than nothing at all. The unit of work planned to integrate Web 2.0 is moving forward - we've visited the Bathurst gold fields, panned for gold (I returned with my retirement fund being excatly the same balance as when I left) and have researched significant people of the time. Tomorrow, using my trusty cabled PC and wireless tablet, I'll endeavour to introduce our Stage 3 Integrated Learning wiki to the class. They've all been invited to join the wiki and their homework will be to accept their invitation. After that, I'll show them how to set up a blog and we'll link their blogs to the wiki. Who says you need more than one PC????? Not me - it's onwards and upwards! Web 2.0..... Stage 3 are on their way!
