Mark Lowndes

On Wednesday the 13th of February 2013, we were lucky enough to interview Mark Lowndes with room 7.We had experienced once in a lifetime interview which was awesome because Mark Lowndes is a famous singer and a songwriter. Miss Aireen organised our interview with Mark Lowndes,which we did online using google chat.My class and room 7 found out some intresting facts about Mark Lowndes. He has been singing for about 12 years now, his mother inspired him to sing, and also when he was a child music ran through his house everyday, and he taught himself how to play the guitar. My favorite part about interviewing Mark Lowndes was when he sang us a song he made in the islands called No Goodbyes. His last words were to never stop believing and follow your dreams.

I loved this interview because Mark Lowndes is a singer and one day I would like to be like him.

Netbook Reflection 2012

I have just completed my second year with my netbook this is my 2012 reflection. I am a year 7 with my second year with my netbook i really enjoy having my netbook at school, we learn a lot of things with our netbooks.

The positives I experienced this year include interacting with classmates when we need help. We also get to respond to amazing blog post or comments that were posted by our classmates or other students in the Manaiakalani cluster.we get to learn and create in different process. We also get to make achievements more than one way, we gain more speed when we are typing every day.

Some negatives that occurred while using our netbooks were, such as disconnection and slow connection .There have been sometimes where there were easy access to games and that means we should take more responsibility for our netbooks and our learning.

This year I have learnt a lot more about my netbook such as doing my work on different google docs applications such as spreadsheet, Creating amount of graphs( leaf and steam, pie, column, bar, line.), presentation documents and google template. Now I wonder if we get to take our netbooks home next year.

It has been my second year of having my netbook and I must say I really enjoy using my netbook at school for a learning tool.
