Student Reflections on Web 2.0
I am a student in year 6 from the Falcons School for Girls.The Year Six girls have created lots of things on the computers: we have recorded podcasts using USB microphones,created our own blog and we have been interacting with people across the world on our Timezone wiki - not just going on Microsoft Word! We were doing fun things, but still learning at the same time!
