Augmented reality

Published by dragonsinger under activities

Today we got to play around with the Star Trek version of Augmented Reality. Anyone wanting to try this at home can watch the video…

… and then play with it at this website: http://www.experience-the-enterprise.com/ww/. You will need to have a working webcam and will probably have to update some activex drivers to experience this.

What’s happening this week?

Published by dragonsinger under from the teacher

We’ve had a very busy start to term 2. We’re learning about Greek and Roman Myths and Legends at the moment and there are some interesting links to check out.

http://myths.e2bn.org/mythsandlegends/

This site has lots of stories and a fabulous story creator – try your hand at writing your own animated myth.

Log into Smartkiddies to access some cool maths games – http://www.smartkiddies.co.nz/ – each student in Room 10 has the login information for this site.

Don’t forget Tutpup too – great for multiplication practise.

And here is the lastest homework:
