About...
2008 ... A multi purpose blog - testing for class use, educational dialogue, blog resource and development.
I teach at Glenelg School (Adelaide, South Australia) with a passion for professional learning, computer games in education, virtual 3D learning environments and exploring the role of emerging technologies in education. My focus is catering to busy teachers with time commitments, crowded curricula and often elusive lives of their own. My class, the miniLegends are Year 3 students - 8 and 9 year olds. They can be found at http://minilegends.edublogs.org/ Im also a District eTeacher with the Learning Technologies Group.al.upton AT glenelgsr7.sa.edu.au

I really liked the novas when I got a shot because one did not work the first time then it did not work again and then it still did not work. It is really fun going on the nova because you can write stories and you can draw and you can do stuff
From Phoebe
Novas are all most like real computers, But don’t have all the things on them. I wish I could have a nother turn on the novas or have a nova because there so cool. Sarah
It has minipics,cool mouse.I would like to hav one mysealf.
I havent had a turn but I think it will be fun and it is so cool
I think if we have our own novas I would make heaps of computer games,and I also think if we had our own novas we don’t need to go to the computer room any more.But I need to learn more about novas.
The novas are really cool. You can really have fun on them you can draw,write and lots of other things well thats what I heard from sarah. Because I have not had a shot yet. They also have a touch screen. If I had a shot it would be really cool. I rather have 1 nova to ourself than have 1 big computer that we can never use.
I would really like to have our own little computer then have a big computer.
The beast thing is word pad because you can do scibble and it will work out a sentance or a word or a sign like ???.
i thought that the novas were really Cool Because they were touch screens and can have a keyboard and mouse attached. I liked playing on it because you can draw pictures and write stories. i think that they look really cool too.

I like the novas because they can be very handy because once thier charged up thier wireless. and that they are mini computers that can use the intrernet and the internet.julian
Novas are like real computers
when I went on the Nova I used a program called Nova paint.
When I went on the Nova there were not a lot programs.
Now there is a lot of new programs.
When it was my shot on a Nova this is what I did…
I had to go on to word pad, And write about our toys and games and what I did. When I got my turn on a Nova I got really exited about it. When it was the end of my shot I found it hard to save and turn it off, Because I liked it so much.

I thought the novas are cool because thay are portabal and thay got a little mouse and keybord or it can be a touch screen and pen
Novas are like computers, But there don’t have alot of icons.
You can plug in a mouse and keyboards. you can go on a word pad.
the things that i have had the most fun with the the novas is that we are trying something new. there are lots of programs that we can use on the novas like paint, word and lots more. you have to charge them and lots more to make your novas work . You have to take lots of care of your novas. It is a touch screen and has alot more new features.

I had a turn on a Nova. I will show you how to use a Nova. One turn the Nova on. Two get the touching pen. Three go on the progom that the teacher is telling you to go on.Four give the next person the Nova when your done with it.
Novas are great because you can use nova paint,it is very fun because you can draw pictures with nova paint.You can type words on the nova keyboard and you can save it too.
I really like the novas i had a turn. I used the keyboard and the mouse it was fun. I used the pen to because it was a touch screen. Al got 5 novas. It has lots of procrams Al was going to get 30 but there was not 30 so he asked if he can have 6 but they did not 6. The mouse changes colours it is so cool. The novas are so much fun.

Hi I think it is a great idea to have novas at school. Because it is good for your lurning and there is some cool games on there well not games but cool stuf on there like you can do drawings on there and stuf Sarah helped me get on to the drawing thing. I would rather have one of my own than the BIG eletric white bord
