 S Seeing the enjoyment at writing well is excellent. Children are more comfortable sharing an idea over the computer and not having to speak in This is an excellent idea for sharing ideas, I just did a collaborative SWOC exercise with my year 10 class and I should have used this. I had the same problem. I believe it would have made a big difference to their understanding of this activity. Students can compare and contrast their thinking with that of other students as the discussion proceeds. Students enjoy using the technology to engage with one another Students would love the ideaof seeing their comments come up on a screen in front of them, I would imagine that this would fully engage the students. Quicker way of generating ideas than the traditional "brainstorming". I think this would help with their thought processes and for me to understand what they are thinking. W Kids might take advantage of this by being silly with it...!!!! Problems with the network dropping out. Sometimes the use of the technology can encourage superficiality rather than deep thought and reflection This is very exciting. O  Using their own macbooks and having the time to experiment with the technology, students have opportunities to converse globally and access any information, any time. <span class="author-g-4erx1pa7uxbdapna" style="background-color: #fffedf; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">Opportunity for teachers/authorities to change the way we assess. <span class="author-g-65n5e582774ngvxh" style="background-color: #ffecfd; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">Opportunity to become more digitally saveyy for everyone <span class="author-g-ph8x52wvpcrc62hv" style="background-color: #fff1df; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">C <span class="author-g-cnqpnjd7wcn8adbe" style="background-color: #eee6ff; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">keeping the internet running and at speed. <span class="author-g-cnqpnjd7wcn8adbe" style="background-color: #eee6ff; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">monitoring what the children will access over the internet. <span class="author-g-4erx1pa7uxbdapna" style="background-color: #fffedf; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">Students being able to know what is truth and what is relevant. <span class="author-g-65n5e582774ngvxh" style="background-color: #ffecfd; cursor: auto; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-top: 0px;">Juggling the demands of using new technology tools, new directions in curriculum and being relevant to students of the current era
