6 September 2011 - Heni At the Blue House ano. We have been really busy at kura study different oceanic cultures beginning with Fiji, Samoa and Cook Islands. Its been a busy term. What do I need to do today! Catch up with everyone and everything that has been happening over the past few months. The flu bug is terrible and im still suffering the effects that the students are passing on at school. Class eportfolios are coming along slowly and students are managing to put in a few new pages each term. We have decided to just create a page for each of the junior students as they concentrate on mathsbuddy and what they can get out of it. We have looked at the Breakout workshops for the up and coming u-learning course in Rotorua.

17 May 2011 Kia Ora whanau, its a very enjoyable day, sitting in the sun on my laptop, **__not__**. Its a very warm day as we sit in our roopu learning lots of information about e-learning. At the moment I am trying to download some of the students mahi that was completed in class onto our kura wikispaces. Being the new-bee I dont have access to this unless I am invited. So I have sent a message to the organisers to __let me in__ so that I can place updates. We have looked at websites that can help us update our juniors learning.[|www.buildyourwildself.com] and [|www.spikeatschool.co.nz] for E-portfolio management systems.
