2013 Reflection

All throughout the year I have been using my netbook or an Imac to learn. I go on to sites that make me want to learn more. I have had my netbook for 2 years soon. I have friends that go on to sites, I go on the sites after. If I can’t connect to the internet I go on the Imac. The internet helps us learn more and more, some times i’m addicted to the internet. Our school also goes on a testing site called e Asttle, e  Asttle is also a learning site. I visit our year 6 site and I also visit our Pt England school site to go blogging.
