Computers in Education
 
By Matila

I am a Class Computer Monitor. I love to use computers, type up reports, play adventures and to write electronic mail with my friend Alisi. When I grow up I would like to be a typist on computers. We have lots of computers in all the classrooms.


The Internet

By Nam

We wanted to tell you about our school's internet resources. We use an ADSL modem and have our own web and mail server which uses Linux.

Mainly we use the net for email, video mail, research, projects etc. Years 2-6 have the net in their rooms, and we have computers for the children in the Information Technology Centre as well as 3 in the Staffroom for the teachers.
 

 
Year 6 classroom is a mixture of old and new technology.
 

Information,
Technology Centre

By Luke

The Information and Technology Centre (I.T. Centre) is a quiet classroom, it is also fun because of the computers, CD's and the internet. The internet has stacks of information to look up like education, environment, gold rushes, olympics, nature, science, the planets, and  heaps more. Classes use the information to do projects.

We have 8 Internet computers and 22 older computers on a network.

The I.T. Centre also has a lot of reference books and information books about loads of topics. Children can go in at lunchtimes each day. Student Research Team members help them and a teacher supervises them.

On Thursday and Friday classes go to I. T. Centre for Library lessons and they borrow books to read at home.
 

 
Everyone has equal access.
