D 8/9 has been making pages on the web. As a group the class works out what they want to say and publishes their class pages and student pages from the classroom. Students can go home and look at what they have done from the comfort of their own home.
They are a special education class on the world wide web!

Halinda SSP as a Learning Community
Halinda School for Special Purposes aims to be a learning community.
Halinda SSP teachers recently attended the 2007 PSP SSP Conference held at the Rydges Rosehill NSW. Based on what we learnt we came up with this little podcast at our workgroup.

Two Boards per Grade by the End of the Year !
Halinda is one of the best equipped SSPs in the Western Sydney Region. It has been a long technological journey from the old school site to the new school venue.
The process of funding, ordering and commissioning new technologies such as the interactive whiteboards has been in planning since before we arrived at our new site. We now have three fixed boards in use and two mobile boards in use in the school.
Plans are underway to order a third mobile board. This will make 2 per grade by the end of the year. A great boon to the technological literacy of the student population.

Getting the Wobbles
The low slung projector installation is too enticing for the Primary Case Study Group. So much so, the projector now swings from side to side rather too freely ! Such are the teething troubles of whiteboards in schools full of active students.
Our students learn by exploration and the temptation to learn about head hieght whiteboard projectors is a tactile challenge.
Processes are in train to raise the height of the projector.
