Welcome to the Echuca College E-Learning Wiki. In 2009, the Loddon Mallee Region in the North Western part of Victoria, Australia, participated in the 1:1 Netbook trial. All year 6 students were provided with netbooks, and their progress were tracked closely. Outcomes in student learning, student well-being and student engagement were measured. The trial will continue in 2010, with all these students moving on from Primary School to Secondary Colleges. As a result, Echuca College will have a cohort of around 195 students, each with his/her own netbook. As this is the first time that the teachers in the Year 7 Learning Neighbourhood in Echuca College will have students with their own mobile device (netbook), this Wiki is a way of collaboration between the Primary Schools (or any school anywhere in the world) and Echuca College, to find out which programs the innovative teachers in other schools use, and how teachers manage to integrate mobile devices like notebooks in the classrooms, and which benchmarks and skill sets the students will bring with them in 2010. We already have some resources listed on the Year 7 2010 wiki page (http://netbooktrial.wikispaces.com/Year+7,+2010 ), but we would like to collate resources here as well.
