Summary C4T Post

Manaiakalani
 The most recent post this teacher had was about her local school in Pt England. The students there have never had a swimming pool and the schools in the area try to focus on water safety and swimming lessons. "For safety lessons students have been using the local swimming pool across the field," she says. It is becoming difficult for the students to have access to the pool grounds due to increasing prices and the one lane access.

   The children decided to approach the Mayor of Auckland with their concerns about the pool access. This idea was fantastic and was a success! The Mayor heard the concerns of the students and approached the idea with a new aquatic location site for the students!

   Mathew Needleman is a computer teacher at his high school. He is dedicated to teaching the new age of technology to students in his school. He feels that all students should accomplish and succeed at life through technology.
   In his first post he talked about instead of closing the computer lab, he wants to have a portable computer lab. He said that," In a perfect world every school would have both a computer lab and computers." He thinks teachers would benefit in the classroom if there were portable computer labs where students would have easy access to projects and papers on a laptop.
   His second post was  a triangle on what he feels that Higher Level of Technology Use should be. With the top being students as influencers on the outside world, it is because the foundation of the triangle is teachers as multimedia consumers. Mathew made excellent points in both of his posts. I enjoyed reading them.
