Welcome to Echuca College's Year 7 Netbook Reflection page.

In 2010 all our year 7 students have access to 1:1 technology through the netbook trial. Teachers are participating in Reflection Learning and Action Research to see how the netbooks can improve student outcomes. This wiki is a place where teachers can log evidence, journal their own successes or obstacles, or ask further questions.

Our Essential Question is:

How do netbooks contribute to powerful learning in classrooms across the Domains?
