Oasis+Netbooks


 * Oasis Netbooks **

This year Oasis team got to use something they weren't expecting. When the teacher’s told the team they were getting netbooks, the team was so excited and they could hardly wait to get them. When the team received the netbooks, they had many problems. The biggest problem for the teachers was that they had to be able to trust the kids to do what they were supposed to do. The other problems were that the kid’s kept on changing their desktop backgrounds in class. They would waste time to get a new desktop background they really liked, and that was getting annoying to many of the Oasis teachers.

From the moment the Oasis team got their netbooks, they started to take good care of them. When the students walked in the hallway, they walked more carefully than usual so that they didn't drop the netbooks. Also, they were careful of bumping into each other, since many of the kids in the hallway carried them.

The student's caution is helping the Oasis teachers trust the students more because so far, the student's are doing the right thing on the netbooks. The students are doing well with listening to the teacher and doing what they asked them to do. But sometimes, when kids are done doing work, they like to play games that are school related, which is not allowed. Other than that, the netbooks were really helpful and made work much easier because the students could take their time. I think that the netbooks are the best tool that came into their team, and they should be very grateful to have them.
