How to find and use the revision history in Google Presentation

In keeping with our efforts at supporting other learners in their use of technology to further their learning, we have been creating some "How To..." videos with the help of Mr. Bailey our Technology Integration guru. In this video we show you how to get an old version of a slide back in case you do something wrong and you can't use undo...

We hope you enjoy it and that you find it helpful.

Celebrating Earth Day this week - Tuesday (Earth Day)

Happy Earth Day!

Today, 5G wrote their pledges on how each of us are going to make a change in our own lives to help save the Earth and improve everyone's life. A pledge is more than simply a promise. It is something we agree to do and are committed to seeing it happen.We've placed those pledges on small green leaves which are now being put up on a tree outside the Staff room. In two weeks, we'll have a look to see how well we kept our pledges!

Today, we watched and discussed this video on saving the Earth...



Thinking about your learning, what pledge could you make to improve the health of the Earth?

This week was a big week for 5G and Year 6 as TechKids began providing tech support to other learners around the school. In a nutshell, TechKids are upper primary school learners who have very good mentoring and technology skills who volunteer their time to help support and teach tech skills and coping methods for children in the same or lower year groups and, even teachers!
Here are the pictures of our inaugual session!
