Slowly does it!

Stage 3 accessed the wireless network today - yipee! A huge thank you to Bernard, our brilliant technical guru, for patiently re-setting each netbook so we could access the wireless network. The first stop was the Smartkiddies Mathematics site - http://www.smartkiddies.com.au/. This is a great site where teachers can select a variety of tasks from all strands of the mathematics syllabus and tailor those activities to meet the needs of each student individually. The second stop was to check out the SBS Gold site (http://www.sbs.com.au/gold/) where the students researched and, then selected, a bushranger from the time of the gold rushes in Australia. Working with a partner, one student has taken on the part of the bushranger while their partner has the task of representing them in our 'Stage 3 Court of Law'. Were these men villains or, were they heroes? All will be decided next week when court is in session and Stage 3 pass judgement! Cases will be documented using Google Documents. All in all, a big day in Stage 3. Cyberspace watch out..... we're on our way!
