The 1st term with the netbook has been great we have used it lots of different lessons such as E.H, Science, D.T and Music and P.S.H.E. in science i have looked up facts and i have made power points for lessons. in D.T i learnt about tie dye and other styles in textiles. i use it in the mornings and also in P.S.H.E for websites like connections. It has helped me the most in E.H beacuse my hand writing is not great and teachers can not read my work we use them in most E.H lessons and its has made it a lot easier. My best piece of work is my Titanic piece if i never had the netbook i would not have the mark i got because the typing made it neater. i have also done a lot of reasearch with the netbook like the last survivor of the Titanic and when she died. I hope my spelling will improve with the netbook but we will have to wait for that. The only problem i had been that my mouse was not working i and i had to ask for help. at home my mum uses it with my help she has done online banking on it and my uncle has used it for e-mailing.
At home i have gone on Facebook to interact with friends and family in india and germany. i also used it for homework and even though i can improve my homework i have still handed in more than i have in the past it has been a great thing to have in school because at lunch i do my homework if i forget to the night before.
The netbooks are amazing i am gonna be upset to see them go. its is gonna fell weird not having them in lesson I am gonna miss them a lot. i hope the other class that get them next will enjoy them as much as we did and will appreciate them as well.i have not damaged the netbook and hope to carry on using it till the end when we give them back. i am happy to say that we were the first to use the netbooks and will be honed to be the first as well.
FIRST HALF WITH NETBOOKS HAS BEEN TRULY AMAZING

I enjoyed reading your blog and I like the idea that you have been teaching your Mum how to use your netbook.

Hi Iran,
Thanks for your update – it sounds like your netbook has really made a difference to you! I’m glad it’s helping all your family and that you feel you have been getting better grades by using it. Keep up the good work!

Iran you have certainly been making the most of your netbook. I was very interested to read that it helped you produce better work. I think you are right, the netbook is a real boon to people who find handwriting a bit of a challenge. Maybe one day you will be able to earn enough money to buy your own netbook that would be great wouldn’t it?

Glad you’ve had a good time with your netbook. It sounds as though it has become a bit of a good friend both in and out of school. As easy as typing makes writing, don’t neglect your handwriting. Many adults often go back to using a fountain pen and nice paper when they have a personal message to write because it makes the message seem that little bit more special.

Iran,
sounds like you’ve done great things with that netbook, really well done.
Out of interest do you feel that because you’re so used to doing things on facebook etc that by using the netbook’s it feels more like you’re doing real life things in school?
Well done again,
Chris
