Student uses at rose bay secondary college • Students demonstrated how to set up accounts, create  groups and blog posts in a WEB based program called Edmodo and how Student Response Network (SRN ) could be used in a class room to evaluate the knowledge gained from the lesson. • Another student demonstrated the effective use of sharedOne Note pages within a class environment, where students could add content to a topic in real time. The same student demonstrated how he had set up One Note to record his notes from lessons and his use of Free Mind to map what they had learnt  as well as  areas of further exploration.
