Learning with the ‘Technology 4 Learning Team’ Wednesday morning we had an amazing technology session with Joe and the ‘Technology 4 Learning’ team. Tanja students used VR (virtual reality) goggles to look at Mars and the Mars Rover, they observed and discussed the solar system. Following on from this activity students built Mars Rover replicas using Legpo and coded their robots through the use of iPads. Another day of rich and engaging learning!
