Marvinator Awards!

The inaugural Microsoft Partners in Learning Marvinator awards were held at Peachgrove this week. Our very own Kittymilo was the supreme winner and very first "Marvinator"!
Well done to all of you. Thanks to Microsoft Partners in Learning [Annick and rOB] who have worked so hard to help enhance the Room5ians learning environment with all their ideas, use of technology and encouragement.
Hooray!!!

Digital Learning Objects

Hello official research monkeys [that means students in Room5 who used the digital learning objects and were recorded by Annick and Rob] - can you please make statements here about your experience with the cartown digital learning object? I would like to know if it was fun, engaging, whether or not you used it properly, or just rushed through trying to answer things so you could get to the next stage, etc. Did it help you learn anything? Was it useful in relation to your inquiry studies about Hamilton? How did you enjoy working in pairs?
Please be honest so i can learn from your experience.
The more detailed your answer, the better.
regards,
Mr WOody - research monkey manager

p.s. the primate shown is a bonobo. bonobos are a type of chimpanzee and are apes, not monkeys. there is a difference and as scientists we need to be clear about our distinctions between different groups when making classifications. [put your hand up if you understood what i just said]
