COW




Today we are using laptops for learning. We have 24 of these computers.
It is like a online dictionary and a mini research computer.It is so easy to do research and other things with.COW stands for Computer On Wheels.With a push of a button all that can happen!!!!

The cow is great because it is small and there is room for a text book or any book. There is also a calculator and sticky notes and stuff like that. The cow is small so it dose not show all the words. The cow stands for computers on wheels.

MR. MANNING AND THE COW
[COMPUTER ON WHEELS]
Today in the fantastic gr.5 class we had a guest. Mr. Manning came in with the COW and showed us how the cloud works. The cloud is its own little USB port and it saves everything off your mobile devices to work on them later. Then we talked about how mobile devices can change our learning, also called the [MLD] mobile learning device! Mr. Manning brought in touchscreen wireless laptops and we all worked with them. The COW is a really cool way to learn and changes almost everything in your classroom! You will find you have a lot more paper and pencils to use for other projects . The COW makes learning a whole new subject. We finally found a way to make gr.5 learning fun and cool in one. The COW holds 24 computers of 3 different colours. The Cow comes with Blue, Black, and Red. The fantastic fives are learning in a way nobody can beat!!!
THANK YOU MR. MANNING!!!
