The Westall Secondary College iPad trial now spans year 7 and 8. You can coordinate a visit with the Principal David Tyson. I keep hearing great things from Ringwood so give them a first look over as they were a source of inspiration for my new school. :-)<br>

Hi Joyce,<br>
<br>
I now live at Ringwood SC and they have a Yr 7 iPad program. I am not sure<br>
about visits but can ask and find out the protocols.<br>
As far as the definition of a computer re NSSCF funding, an earlier post<br>
covers this here<br>

Subject: [Offtopic] Ipads<br>
<br>
Hi all<br>
<br>
Is anyone using ipads in the classroom? Do you have a class set for<br>
students to use? If so, is it possible for our e-learning co-ordinator to<br>
visit your school to see how they are being used?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
As an aside, regarding DER Funding are Ipads considered a "computer"?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Joyce<br>

A great citizen science project that kicks off today. Regards Roland "Light<br>
pollution is obscuring people's long-standing natural heritage to view<br>
stars. The GLOBE at Night program is an international citizen-science<br>
campaign to raise public awareness of the impact of light pollution by<br>
encouraging everyone everywhere to measure local levels of night sky<br>
brightness and contribute observations online to a world map. All it takes<br>
is a few minutes to participate between 8-10 pm, February 21 through March<br>
6. Your measurements will make a world of difference. Read More..."<br>
