[Year 12 IT Apps] Google has a new logo

[Laurie Savage]

In 6th class my mate and I were the ink monitors. We got to mix the powder and water to make the ink we loaded our steel nibs with. We found some very old and musty stuff at the back of the store and for a few weeks 6A were writing in a strange greenish tinged ink that tended to oxidise to a deep orange red tinge. Maybe we’d mixed the wrong stuff. Lucky we had a teacher/footie coach who always encouraged a “suck it and see” attitude in the kids. I guess we’d call it Enquiry Learning now.

Teachers took to this like ducks to water, championing the installation of photocopiers in school. Only the die hards continued to sniff fordigraph fluid as they scribbled away on carbon paper and remembered what who had what cup in the staff room. The history is worth recalling:
