My Reflections on Netbooks

Hi, My name is Taki I am a year 5 student and Glenbrae School and I am in Room 9. My teacher is Mr. D. Nath.

This year was an exciting year for me because I started using a chromebook.  I was fascinated by the thought of doing so many cool things on my chromebook but it took me some time to really start using it effectively. There were so many things to learn and I tried my best to learn as much as I could from my teacher, whanau and friends.

These are my reflections on what I did.

The things that I have learnt from my teacher was how to use the netbook, I learnt a few things about cyber safety, accessing the class site and how to blog my work. The things that I learnt by myself was how to improve my typing skills and the keyboard shortcuts.

I have learnt how to screenshot my work and how to change my password. The things I have learnt from people outside of school is how to hack into other peoples users.

I  am able to think about the topics that I am going to research and write questions using using google docs and I am able to post onto my own blog although I found it difficult at first. I am also able to read more online books, stories and articles while looking for information , deciding which sites are safe for me to access and use information from, sharing my learning on my blog and also the class blog.

Last Saturday my family and a friend went to maraetai beach in our family van.  I was very excited to get there.

When we got there we had set the picnic out,then we ate it.After the picnic we went for a swim then my friend Jayden was drowning because he swam too far out and couldn't touch the ground.No one heard him screaming for help then my Dad turned around saw him,he swam out and got him and brought him back to shore.After that  we went back home,Jayden ask if he could have an ice cream.Taki said’’ do you have money” Jayden said ‘’no’’,Taki said ‘’I have lots of money I am sososo rich’’.
