All about New Zealand - our research projects

Hello everyone!

Well term three has started with a bang!  We are well underway with our learning and things are getting exciting.  We have started with our very first individual research projects this week!

Every child has their own New Zealand town to research.  We will be using the chrome books for this challenge, so you can access their thinking at home!

What you need to do to access this at home.

First

Your child will need to sign in to their school account.  They can do this from any computer using google chrome.

I will send home passwords and emails so that you can do this together at home.

Next, go to google docs.  It's the blue button called Docs.  You can find it by clicking on the 9 little squares on the google homepage (see the above picture)

This will take you to your google drive where all your docs are stored.  Click on your town doc.  (You screen will look different to this, but similar!)

I already have access to all the kids work, they shared it with me.  

To make life easier for you, you can open up a google search right there in your doc.  Click on the tools button and then research.  This will open up the research bar on the side.

If you are stuck with your research while you are doing it, you can add a comment, which will send me an email so I can go on your project while you are working on it.  

You can comment, or I can comment.  It's really easy to be working together on it!
