Well having a netbook has helped a lot but has distracted me a lot too. Its easier to write instead of a pen and paper. Its easier to access all the sites and just read off it. But it gets distracting when games and youtube and stuff comes to mind. I just play games.

1. To me It has helped out a lot and I think to the other students it has. It has been easier for us to research about based on our learning Intention. It has not only helped us in school grounds but at home as well. 

2. I have learnt many things from many of my teachers this year. Everything I know now is what I've learnt from them all. I started tamaki college not knowing anything and now leaving with huge bundle of new things. I've learnt that hard work gets you places. With out that you're not able to accomplish anything. 

3. I have learnt how to use Google docs. Coming from a school out of zone . Coming from Manurewa Intermediate we didn't use much electronic devices. Starting here at tamaki college , Im getting use to using netbooks and Things on the Net. 

4.I have learnt a lot of things from all my friends this year. I learnt to open up to others , cause I wasn't much of a loud , outside person. I learnt how to participate , contribute and use teamwork much much better now. 

5.  I've learnt that being year nine and not beginning NCEA dosen't give us the excuse to not focus . I've learnt to be ready now before starting before I'll find things difficult when i begin. I learnt that Year 9 I should stop mucking around and should focus now before its too late. 

6. Not really because I didn't know anything myself. This year everything was new. If I have I think it wasn't teaching anyone how to use the netbooks , cause i didn't know my self.

Using the net book has helped me connected to the internet faster. Sometimes using the net book can be hard but this year I have found it easier because I used last year to during Intermediate. This year doing my work online was something I have learnt all by myself this year. A special thing I have learnt this year from my teachers is you can talk on your work and this has helped me because they can tell what I did wrong in the work and that's what I like. Online the most significant thing was chatting with your friends. This is good in a way but sometimes it can distract us from learning. From my friend this year I have learnt that you can work in partners not only face to face but online. You can share a document and then you can both work on it. Outside the classroom I haven't really learnt anything because I have only learnt either at school or from my friends. I have helped my little brother in his net book and I have done a good job. I have taught him about what I have learnt through my friends and from my teachers.  I have grown don't know how but I have grown. In key competencies thinking,using language,managing self, relating to others, participating and contributing has helped me find out more about my net book. This has helped me work more faster and fluently with teachers and friends. I have learnt a lot about my net book this year and hope to find out more about it next year :)

THIS YEAR, HAVING A NETBOOK WAS VERY HELPFUL AND BY FAR MORE EASIER FOR THE STUDENTS AND THE TEACHERS. SHARING WORK IS MORE FASTER USING THE INTERNET AND USING THIS TOOL WE CAN IMPROVE MORE IN OUR LEARNING. TEACHERS HAVE HELPED BY SENDING US SOME LINKS TO VISIT WHICH WE CAN GO ON AND READ INSTEAD OF THEM TELLING US WHICH WILL WASTE A LOT OF TIME. OR THEY COULD JUST SHARE A DOCUMENT WITH US. I LEARNT THAT WE SHOULD'NT TAKE THIS FOR GRANTED. HAVING A NETBOOK IS TO WORK EDUCATION IN A KIND OF DIFFERENT WAY. MY FRIENDS HELP BECAUSE AS WE READ THE WORK ONLINE WE CAN SHARE OUR THOUGHTS AND WORK TOGETHER(BESIDES TEST HA). I HAVE HELPED OTHER PEOPLE BY SHOWING THEM OTHER LINKS TO VISIT AND SHARING MY IDEAS WITH THEM USING THE NETWORK. USING NETBOOKS HAVE GROWN MY KEY COMPETENCIES BECAUSE I CAN READ A LOT ONLINE. I CAN ALSO SEARCH WORDS AND THINGS THAT I DON'T KNOW. MY THINKING HAS EXPANDED AND THIS GIVES ME MORE INFORMATION TO STUDY.

During this year I have learnt how to write an essay. I also learnt alot in the subject maths, science and social studies. I have learnt alot of things from people outside the classroom, for instance my family had helped me when I was stuck in learning things at home and when I needed help. I have helped other kids with their learning by telling them what to do and helped them to understand. I have learn how to relate to others, think more positively, participate and contribute in groups discussion, use to learn different language, symbols and texts and also learnt how to manage myself. :)

Chelsea - Feedback

This year from my friends, I have learnt to respect them correctly and to tell someone before the problem gets more difficult to deal with. I have learnt that people who come to school more often have a better chance of getting NCEA level 1. My teachers have inspired me to do my best in all my work and to do things at the best of my ability. I think that I have helped people to feel good towards themselves. From people outside of my classroom, I have learnt that smoking and drinking are both bad. Therefore, we should help them stop. I have learnt to stay safe on sites such as Facebook and not give any information that may get you in trouble.

This year I have learnt from my teachers that having a netbook, is for us to use in terms of school. The things that I have learnt this year about using these electronic devices, are that we should respect it and its uses and to use it for the right things and not for playing around. This year I have learnt from my friends that I should be using netbooks, for the right uses. This year I have learnt from others that I should uses these as tools to play on or to work on individually. This year I have helped others learn using these devices. I have helped them learn heaps using netbooks. This year I think that I have grown more with my Key Competencies.

Kayde - Feedback

Having a netbook connected to the internet this year has made me discover that with all the temptations such as facebook and games on the internet is that I can manage myself to do my work.

A special thing that I have learnt from my teacher is to answer questions (all questions) with full word and descriptive answers.

A significant thing that I have learnt by myself is that I can do my work faster and much more often compared to last year.

What I have learnt from my friend this year is to keep doing your work and if you want to play a game then finish and ask the teacher first.

What I have learnt from someone outside the classroom is to not be like them. I've seen other students from Tamaki College outside of class doing some real dodgy things.

I have helped other kids this year by guiding them in the right direction instead of waging class and not coming to school.

I have grown in my key competencies. One in particular, self management. Last year I swore a lot and answered back to teachers. Although I still answer back I've noticed its not as bad as last year.
