Welcome to 7SE 2013!
I know we are going to have a great year together!
Congratulations...
This year is going to be so exciting. We all have heaps to learn and I know we will have a whole lot of fun along the way too!
So what can you expect?
Flexibility is really important as a blended learner. You will be able to have a choice in how you participate in the classroom activities. Sometimes you might like to use pen and paper, other times you may want to use your devices. Sometimes this choice will be up to you and other times it will be up to me as your teacher. You will learn how to effectively use your device as a learning tool. You will also learn how to use your device as an effective presentation creator. There will also be heaps of time for fun on your device, with friends and don't forget that I love going out for games too. So let's get on with it!
Some of the sites we will use:
Google Apps for Education
The first Google app we will use is email. We will also be using Google drive and Google calendar.
Edmodo
This is where you will find lessons, homework and much more.
DHS Intranet
www.home.darfield.school.nz This is an essential web address to remember. From here you can access your email, the library website, the school website plus heaps more!
7SE - the best we can be!
What do I expect from you?
I expect the best in everything you do! Whether that's learning in the classroom or playing in the playground. I expect you to ask for help if you are unsure. Always remember that there are no silly questions in 7SE - if you are confused then someone else is likely to be confused as well, help them and yourself at the same time by asking the question, just remember to pop your hand up!
