Jorelle in Miss King's Year 3/4 class at Pt England School in Auckland, New Zealand

Jorelle posted a Vimeo in which she reflects on some of the technology tools she has used. She states that HyperStudio is the tool that she has enjoyed learning the most and it is her favorite way to create and share. Google Drive is her least favorite because she says it is hard for her to write.

I commented that she is doing a good job on her reflection video, and that I learned about something new from the video - HyperStudio. I told her that I researched HyperStudio and it sounds like a fun way to create and share. I encouraged her to keep up the good work.

I commented that she and her classmates look like they are having a good time at the pool. I told her that I hope she enjoys swimming and that I hope she gets to learn how to dive soon. I encouraged her to keep up the good work on her swimming lessons.

Tamara in Mrs. Jacobsen's Year 5/6 class at Pt England School in Auckland, New Zealand

Tamara's last post was on December 2, 2013. It is a two slide Google Docs presentation. The first slide is a picture of Tamara, and on the second slide she writes that she is in Mrs. Jacobsen's class, she enjoys playing with her sister on the weekends, and at school she likes to write and work on the computer.

I commented that I enjoyed her Google Docs presentation about herself. She wrote that she likes writing at school, so I asked her if she likes to write stories. I encouraged her to keep up the good work on her blog.
