"The true strength in our classroom lies in the collaboration of learners not in the knowledge of one expert"

In Room 16 we have had the great opportunity to be able to have computer time every week. This week we used the class laptops to learn how to work collaboratively with each other as well as cooperatively. This was a great learning for the Tamariki in room 16 as we learnt a great deal of skills and these skills also linked in well to the values we have been learning about which is whanaungatanga and manaakitanga . Here are some skills that we learnt:

• How to work together cooperatively.
• How to teach as well as learn from each other. 
• When we are working on the laptops how do we look after them. 
• Sharing of ideas. 

Today the children learnt how to use Study ladder and how to log into Study ladder and how to enter their usernames and passwords. They learnt how to access allocated tasks for Mathematics and Reading.
