Jade, 11, and James, 10, report on a virtual
conference that their school in Nottingham is taking part in.
As part
of Netd@ys Week, lots of people are attending a virtual conference in the
United Kingdom from the 20th - 22nd of November.
The week
is trying to show the benefits of computers at school.
Virtual
conference
It's virtual because it's taking place through a computer
where the people 'attending' share their knowledge about technology.
Over 1000
people are logging on to be part of the conference.
They're
asking questions by posting a message on the conference website, and the
workshop presenters post replies as soon as they are able to.
Our
school was chosen to host the conference because this year we won a Web
Nose Award for our website.
Web
Nose Award
We won
the award in July, and the prize was a news computer and £500 to spend on
software.
The judges said: "It's clear that the participants had
great fun producing this website and learned a great deal at the same
time."
'We
can't keep quiet!'
We were
proud of winning the award. But we were also proud of raising £700 doing
events for Comic Relief, which the award is linked to.
There's a big poster in the entrance to the school
that lets everybody know our school won. We can't keep quiet!
