= Where Are We At?= = = 2007-Our New space- this is a space that is designed to allow teachers to trial and create new teaching and learning practices and thinking opportunities with their students. We have considered environmental aspects such as colour, ambience, furniture and flexibililty. We have also ensured that the space has the latest technological equipment such as 2008-Our completed space- The Edge- Our learning space is now completed Kahootz
 * laptops with wireless connection
 * video conferencing equipment which will allow for shared professional development for teachers and classroom links for students.
 * a Promethean Interactive whiteboard for teacher and student use
 * a set of 12 desktops computers to supplement the laptops
 * DVD and sound equipment to allow for music, dvd's and videos

Students in Years 7&8, 5&6 and 3&4 all created Kahootz expressions during the year. Year 7&8 created expressions that demonstrated something about their own personality Grade 5/6 students learnt the more technical side of Kahootz and will be expanding on their understandings next year. Grade 3/4 students also learnt how to create expressions and are going to use Kahootz this term to create their own ideal environment for their Searching Australia theme.

Digital Portfolios
 * 2005&2006- Students in Grade 5/6 have created digital portfolios using Powerpoint for the second year running. Each year they present their portfolios to their parents in a showcase day.
 * 2006-Year 7 students have created their digital portfolio in Powerpoint and have focussed on personal learning, communication and collaboration, thinking and subject areas.
 * 2006- Year 8 students used the same proforma for their portfolio as Year 7's but created their portfolio as a website in Dreamweaver. They also learnt to use the companion programs Fireworks and Flash for image mainpulations and optimisation
