MacBooks are a little different to PC laptops. They have a trackpad not a touch pad and it operates slightly differently. The trickiest part is scrolling up and down. You use two fingers and pretend you are stroking a pet up and down. Most children have now mastered these new routines and techniques.
On Friday we had over 1000 hits on our blog! The class were very excited about this and are referring to the hits as 'our fans'. I have added a map to see where our visitors are coming from. We have had our first international visitor today. Several teachers from interstate are regular visitors. I visit many other classroom blogs from around the world to gain new ideas.
Dear 2T
ReplyDeleteWe have just seen the video showing 2T using the MacBooks. It looks like a lot of fun. We also liked the song and pictures that Ms Taylor used in the video. We saw that on the map of visitors there was even a visitor to the blog from London.How exciting!

Did you know that Callum has got lots of family in New Zealand? His parents grew up there. If you look on your blog map you will see that you had a few visitors from New Zealand in the weekend. Are there any students in your class who were born in a different country or have family overseas as well?

DeleteHey 2T!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are really lucky to have Macbooks! I wish I had one to play with too. Finn has friends (Rami) in Tanzania and we will be on hol's with them in March (in australia though, not Tanzania!) and they help with a school in Ikarut http://maasaiwanderings.com/projects.shtml We are going to see if they would like to also look at your blog and see if they have a blog you can look at too! so maybe you can get some visitors from Africa?
Cheers,
Finn's Dad
