This site will offer you up to date information on our 1 to 1 iPad program so we can all be ready to hit the ground running when school begins next year. You can subscribe to this blog via email (to sign up, use the "Follow by email" form to the right) so any new posts will land straight in your inbox. Use the comment section below each post to ask questions or start discussions. You will need to sign up for a free Google account if you haven't already got one.
This kind of information access may be new to you, especially where you child's schooling is concerned. It will be beneficial if we are all accustomed to the process however, as blogging will be an important means of communication for the year 5 classes next year, when your children are learning with iPads. You will be able to 'step inside the classroom' via the 2013 class blogs, wherever and whenever it suits you.

This blog was actually launched about a year ago when we were exploring the use of iPads to enhance students' learning in year 5 classes. You will see a couple of older posts below that were published during that time. From now on, all new posts published here will directly concern you and your Year 4 child. We intend to use this space to streamline preparations for our Contemporary Learning program for 2013. This blog will replace the stream of printed letters and documents that would otherwise be sent home with your child... very possibly to become lost, crushed to oblivion, saturated with fruit juice or rendered illegible in numerous other ways.
We hope and trust that you will find this blog useful. So please subscribe. Don't be shy about commenting. Our aim is to create an online space where you can discuss your experiences and concerns, gain advice and share different perspectives with your child's teachers and each other. The sooner we can forge an active, supportive online community for you all, the clearer and smoother this 1 to 1 iPad implementation will be for everyone.
More information about iPad purchase options will be posted here very soon.
Stay tuned.
Maria
