I’m a member of the digteen project.
I’m in group Communication and Collaboration.
Since the past communication methods have evolved significantly since the 19th century. Then resources were limited and now we have many ways to communicate such as mobile phones, computers etc. its just important that we know how to use them correctly and responsibly.
At school we contribute to saving our earth in many ways. We have a windturbine that generates enough to power one of our rooms.
We have a recycling shed and mulch pits. In the mulch pit we put old newspaper, fallen branches, scrap paper all of which go through a mulcher first.
We travel to school on a bus to save every family driving in individually saving petrol and emitting less green house gasses.
School Sports
During term one and term two the school sports are high on the agenda as majority fall between this period of time. Some of which include swimming sports, Triathlon, cross country, athletics, and some others.
My favourite would have to be Athletics. We separate into two teams on the day (spring and Mitchell, named after the streets that the schools walls have been built upon) and compete for the bragging rights for another year. Already this year Mitchell has won the swimming sports so hopefully spring can rise to the occasion this time around.
Yes I am in spring house!
I am in the following events this year
· Javelin
· Discus
· Shot put
· Long jump
· Triple jump
· Relay maybe also
At school the technology i use would probly be mostly computers and cameras to maybe present my data or work in a more professional way depending on what class im in. in most classes we are given the opportunity to present our work using some technology. Last year the class we used the most technology in would most definatly have been chinese. our teacher wAS a technical wiz and she bought ipods, mobile phones, camaeras, video cameras and plenty more. we also did blogging with her.
at home i watch tv and sometimes will use the computer, listen to music on a stereo or ipod, watch movies, go on myspace and msn although dont very often at the moment.
For entertianment i will watch tv, listen to music, text people on mobile phone, watch movies etc.
I believe that studens should be able to blog because not only does it give us the opportunity to talk to kids from over seas it lets us express our school work in a new and exciting way. its a lot more fun to do blogging that sit down with a pen and paper and write down our thoughts i think anyone would agree. Blogging is quite a new thing and its a more modern way to learn.

Today period 2 in the library we had a video conference with the kids from collabration nation. We sjowed each other few things that are unique to our countries adn had alot of laughs along the way.
The collabaration nation kids showed us a baseball and baseball bat, some energy drink called ‘monster’ thast they drink, a basketball jersey and even showed us a cheer adn dance.
we showed them vegiemite, meat pie with sauce, netball, football, a lil koala and a few other unique australian products
After the recess bell went here they took us on a tour of there school and told us a lil bit about there school and local history i guess u might say.
over all i think it was a good experience and i would like to do it again. =]
I think my favourite holiday would have to be christmas just because you get to see all your family and relatives.
At christmas time here its summer so its nice and sunny outside for activities we normally do as a family such as a random sport just for fun. Christmas day we normally sit down and have chicken or turkey with salads and sometimes a little seafood for some families. On boxing day i think we normally have a BBQ and salads also, again its just a good time to get all the family together and haev a good catch up session.
Today is our 2nd day back at school after returning home from tasmania last saturday. we spent 6 days in tasmania visiting various tourist sites and landforms. The three highlights of the trip would have had to be meeting and getting photos taken with freddo frog, going to the Zoo Doo wildlife park and shopping in hobart. =]
One thing that was not so good was all the traveling though. we spent so much time on that bus!
