Grade 10 Ancient History students at Blackville School are learning in a “post-modern” “virtual classroom”.  The school is one of three demonstration schools in District 16 that are piloting the use of student netbooks. In the program students are using the small laptop computers in the classroom and taking them home to assist in doing their research assignments, preparing reports and other homework tasks. With the virtual classroom students can discuss subject topics on-line with their classmates, have access to resources recommended by their teacher and submit reports in a variety of digital media. Mr. Aaron Johnston their teacher, can go on-line, review student work and return it to them digitally as well. This is an example of the approach to teaching and learning that reflects what is considered by many educators to be necessary for 21st Century Learning.
