Wires!

Posted by cathkin on October 30, 2008

Our blog meeting room today is filled with new technology. We’re using the new mini-laptops to blog without wires, playing brain trainer on the new nintendo DS’s the school has recieved (‘Blue!’ ‘Yellow!’) and planning our next activities.

Now settled into our new school we’re about to set our plans into motion with the upcoming primary school road trips and World Aids Day event from which there will be a blog-a-thon AND a podcast-a-thon. Don’t we spoil you?

I’m very much looking forward to all the new activities and all the new possibilities the new school will open up to us.

EDIT:
These are the laptops we’re using right now. *exciting*

    … the linux platform. No problems with connectivity. You can’t connect to school networks, but internet, and therefore GLOW is no problem. A wireless router would also be possible…
