DER Printing from Netbooks
Thanks James @ Cherrybrook THS
Printing – just prior to the trial, CTHS were asked to provide IP addresses for printers that the staff and students were able to use. We were limited to only a couple of printers (and I hope this is purely because it was a trial!!). The staff and students were able to select [...]

www.youtube.com has an incredible library of valuable video resources *and some stuff best described as ’scum’! So you have to work your searches to ‘quickly’ get access to the valuable resources for your classes/courses.

L4L More than Just a Learning Tool?
Why do students always bring to school their mobile phones, MP3 music players and their decorated folders… and ’sometimes’ forget their books, pens, glue and … ?
