Is this the future of Education?

Miss Cata found a great video that shows how some teachers and students are looking at technology as a way to enhance their learning at school.  Take a look at the video below about a robot who visited a school for a day:


What do you think?  Is this the future of education?  What are some positive things that could happen if robots started helping teachers in class?  What are some negative things that could happen?  Would you like it?

I look forward to hearing what you think!

We Got it Started!


Yeah! Yesterday we had our Opening Ceremony for the official start of the Exhibition! The highlight of the assembly was a visit from three sixth grade students who came to share their knowledge and advice of the exhibition from their experience last year.  Here is a summary of some of what they said:

  • Be sure to stay organised and use your binder
  • Assign your group members jobs that are in areas that they do well
  • Be open minded and listen to your group members
  • Be balanced in the work in your group
  • Don't be nervous
  • Practice speaking clearly and slowly for the presentation night
  • Have fun!
Was there any other advice that you heard?  What was the most important part of their advice for you?  Was there anything they said that helped you?

I can't wait to hear from you and get the exhibition officially started!
