Using chromebooks/ipads
Yesterday Whaea Chicky and five Teachers of Year 4, 5, and 6 classes visited Ohaeawai, Tautoro and Kaikohe West Schools to see the children using chromebooks and ipads.
Upon our return to school we discussed the visit and what implications there were for us here at Kaikohe East. We also discussed the fact that we want to know what whanau think about these devices being used more in class programmes.
Later this term we will be sending home a survey to find out what you think.
