Students I think we should have home learning because it is important for children. The reason is when you get to High School or Wesley College you might not know anything that is my opinion. You should have home learning so if people don’t mock you because you don’t try to learn. It’s always good to be smart.

StudentsThink we should not have home learning because we have already learnt at school. It they learn too much they might forget things and we need to rest. Shannon 27.03.10

PlusFlip camera – light and portable. Easy to use – not too many knob options for chn to learn about. Easy to down load and replay. Can be booked for use. Wiki Great way to quickly share a variety of websites. Great way to share chn’s work. Great way to see what other’s are doing.

MinusNot many around school so likely not to be available if an unexpected opportunity arises. Teacher needs lots of “fiddle” time to become competent! -lack of time! Only one or two children can access at a time in classroom.

InterestingPTA going to buy some more. Loved the variety of websites and wikis available
