What have we learnt so far? What do we want to learn?

For the last couple of weeks we have learnt some basics in Technology. We have gone over the rules for using technology at school, learnt how to save onto our flashdrives and then we explored powerpoint. We made some great slideshows about Australia.

Now we are on the next step- group work based on the activities we chose from our goal setting this year .

Which group did you choose to be in first?
