Riwaka School- One To Go

I had fun yesterday at Riwaka School discussing their ICT needs for 2008. Riwaka is one of New Zealand’s oldest schools but it certainly doesn’t look like it! They have an awesome Performing Arts Centre which must be such a fabulous asset to the school and its community. Look at the blue sky! It’s like that all the time in NZ!

And a highlight of today- an all day workshop at Dovedale. I was able to use the internet with my computer and the whole school (two classes) were able to connect to a wiki that I had made showing the children what blogs look like at junior, middle and senior schools. Children were given time to play in the blogs and share what they had found with others in the class. We even got the idea of how people communicate by leaving a few comments.
