 * Linked to the** **[|No-Time4 Online Conference]**

=Student Voice= These students come from a mixed year 7 & 8 class. The year 8's have been exploring online environments with their teacher for about 6 months, the year 7's since February this year. They work in a classroom with four computers and some laptop access. They began with a **class wiki** initially, established a **[|class blog]**and soon decided they all needed their own blogs as well. The students blogs are all linked from the teacher 's **[|(Lynne Crowe's ) blog]**. As is the case in wiki work - the good stuff appears in drip feed and the video takes a little while to download.

Student Voice about Wikis and Blogs from Lynne Crowe's Room 3 Students at Te Awamutu Intermediate School.

These have really only been up and running since term 1 (2007). It's interesting to see their use developing. An online learning community is slowly developing around them but we still have more lurkers than contributors.** http://rosetown.wikispaces.com > http://rats.wikispaces.com > http://edresources.wikispaces.com> > http://room3tai.wikispaces.com
