Tonight we held another parent education session - with the aim of arming parents with the tools to stay in touch with what you children are doing online.
Here is the slide presentation from the evening. Please feel free to share with others who were unable to make it and also post any questions you may have and we will try to answer them for you.

Chromebooks and Google 101
Last night we held our first combined Parent Education Evening. The topic was Chromebooks and Google 101.
We shared an overview of the Chromebook, Google Drive and Hapara Dashboard.
Our Googlers (google experts) from each school (Kaleb, Peter, Livi, Cameron, Cameron, Cian, Harry and Bianca) did a fantastic job of leading the parents through the basics of Google docs.
Parents were able to create documents and share them. It was fantastic to see parents showing a real interest in the way their children are learning. We have had some fabulous feedback - thank you!
Our next session is on Monday 22 June and the topic is Blogger and Home Learning. Register your interest for this course on the form that was sent home last week.

And so it begins...
We are week 4 and all is going splendidly. We are delighted to report that there have been very few hitches in the rollout of chromebooks and every child has had a new chromebook in front of them to begin on this learning journey.
The teachers are working long hours meeting together planning and keeping one step ahead of the students. The level of student engagement is high and we look forward to seeing what the students will achieve with these tools in their hands.
Take a look at these photos taken over the last few days in both schools.
Please feel free to comment or ask questions and we will endeavour to answer them for you throught the blog.
