Dear Mr.Moore
I think that now that we watched other high schoolers talk about us then that is going to make us write something better because may be it might get shared.
-Emanuel
Dear Mr.Moore,
I think that I felt like being on their and sharing my experiences about how using the computers helps me make me a better writer and it's nice how those kids shared their thoughts and it was really nice I liked it a lot.
FROM YOUR FRIEND ELIAS
I say that that video is a great clip for people who are just starting using laptops. I was not a good writer myself back then. I thought that the clip was a way to tell people that you should not be afraid to use technology. I will continue this blog post in my next comment.

I think that the video also helped me understand that the people are trying to help us in not to scared and that you will not break a computer. I also think that they are trying to tell us that we should use the opportunity to use one because we may not use these again for a long time maybe.
Manuel
Dear Mr. Moore
I think that we as the people that have the technology are making a deference and making the future better. I also think that my writing is getting better because like on a paper i have to think what I'm going to write but know I know what to write. The 4th graders should get ready because all I know is that there's going to be lots of people in the room.
Sincerely,
Esmeralda
Dear Mr.Moore,
I think that the video showed that we truly need these laptops. Witch means that we should have them for every single year. I wonder if at the end of one year we could keep the laptops.
From,
Crystal
Dear Mr. Moore,
I though that the video was great because we got to see what the other people think of have a computer and how they think this is helping us. I also thought that it was important that we know what some of our classmates think of the computers.
Diana
Dear Mr.Moore,
I think that the people who made that video really get that having triple e's really help us in almost every subject but mostly writing. I think that it was kind of weird when the teen agers were talking about using the computers and the pbwiki because who would think that kids from high school would be using the same thing as 5th graders.
Sincerely
Denisse
Dear Mr. Moore
This was intresting by the things that the people there where toking about. The kids that are in the class of our were where doing a good job. There where alot of kids that where in difrent schools that where toking to. The people that where in our were class where toking alot about the eee.
By Cesar
Dear Mr. Moore I think that we should get computers cause we deserve them and we need them for special things we can also do our spelling test in the computers and we had these computers for more than 6 months when I saw the computers I was so happy for the first time and maybe even have them for middle school for writing time and I love to have computers around for a life time. Karla
Dear Mr. Moore,
I am so excited about the people that are talking about our blog. In that video I saw some people from my old school, so that brought back a lot of memories. This will be very good for the future 5th graders and beyond. I am very sad that I am leaving the school, that I've been at for 5 years. I want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to us, so
thank you.

Dear Mr. Moore
I thought that this video taught me to not be afraid of using the technology because it will get us ahead of the pack in the 21 century. I also think that this video taught me to believe in myself and to never give up on my writing.
Nathan
Dear Mr. Moore,
When I watched the video called inspired learning it
told my brain that other people are out in the world
with the same laptop triple e's. That we are not the only ones in the world
that have this kind of technology. That other's have exsperiensed this kind of technology.
I think that other people should experience the fun in have these laptops besides kids that are in
school.
Andrew
I think that the video is cool because it talks about how writing has changed by writing with the computer and not the paper and the pencil on the table. I think that the paper and pencil thing has gotten too old for writing. The computer is now the tool is now the proper tool for the writing instead of the (p a p) Paper and pencil. So it is more and much harder to writ with paper and pencil.
Ruben T
Dear Mr. Moore,
After watching the video I learned that many people even high schoolers enjoy using computers as much as we do. This thought came to mind because as I was watching th video they were talking about how they got hand cramps when writing with pencil and paper. This makes me realize that writing in middle school won't be nearly as much fun as it is if we don't have laptops. When the kids from our school were talking about the laptops I noticed that they typed a lot more then they would have with using the laptops.
~Torsha
Dear Mr. Moore,
When I saw the high school students talk about how we work and how they think the computers are helpful in writing. I partly agree with because computers don't just help you with writing but with other subjects like science or language Arts because those subjects require writing and you can do that on the computer.

Dear Ms.VanderVelde & Mr. Moore,
On the video that we watched before lunch was awesome and very interesting for a lot of things. First, we got to see some kids that were for different schools. So that way we could use the computer in different way. So that got my attention, on how to use the computers in different way.
~Elsad
Dear Mr. Moore,
When I saw the video that Dan Mass made, I was shocked, because there were high schoolers saying that they loved writing, and when live high schoolers came in front of the camera and said that the triple e's make writing fun, made me think that they were just lying, but when they started saying how in the past everyone hated writing because it was on paper and pencil, and now they are all excited and cant wait to get to writing, I had already changed my mind. I think that people will believe us kids more when we say that the little cmputers are actually helping us with our writing, because even high schoolers, who usually start to salck off, are saying that they can barely wait until writing. That came as a big surprise to me.
Admira
Dear Mr.Moore ,
I that the video that you showed on was a good video to show us for many reasons. For the first reason I think that it helps because people are talking about how writing is better when you type and use laptops. Another reason I think this is important is because I think this brings inspiration to all students/teachers to write better. My final reason why I think this is important because it can teach us a lesson to how people have changed and how they can change.

Dear Mr. Moore,
I am very proud to find out that there are other people out there that also like the triple EEE's and to find out that I am not the only one that likes to use these computers. I t really has opened up a new door towards learning and technology. I was really astonished to find out that they all enjoy using the computers and how much they enjoy writing so much. When you put a lot of thought into it you find out that technology is like a level towards higher education and is a step forward to your learning. I am proud to find out that I am not the only one who likes to write. It was very interesting that they also like t o write.

Dear Mr. Moore,
Watching the videos made me think, 'Wow! All the students are pushing their thinking REAL hard!” But I think I'm wrong now-they got it from their brains. They probably thought about it, and said what they just saw. That is, I mean, really inspiring to me. I don't think I would be able to do that. Getting it from the heart...it's pretty hard. When you see it, it seems like anyone can do it-but it really isn't that easy. Actually it's probably hard. You have to really know what you're doing while you're just saying what's on your mind. I think it's awesome how they can do it, and how much they're into all the technology. I know 5th graders are REALLY excited about the computers, but the high schoolers seem to know much, much more. Not because they're a few grades ahead of us. No, do NOT get me wrong. I think some 5th graders can try to do what they did in the video, but the high schoolers just, I can't really explain it, they just KNOW what's going on, what's capturing 5th graders' minds. Another thing that just locked my mind was the high schoolers singing. Their voice was great! I wonder what made Dan Maas think about putting the high schoolers' voices in the background. Probably because they are one of the grades that received the cool laptops. But I'm not so sure.
-Narah
Dear Mr. Moore,
I think that the video was really cool. I thought that the video was really cool because it had our friends in it and we got to see how they felt about having the little laptops. I think that the really cool part of the video is that the high schoolers were in the video and they talked about how the technology was good for us and how it would really help us in the future because there would be a lot more technology in the future. I thought this was interesting because it shows us how all of this new technology really helps us. Well that is what I think about this post.
Sincerely,
Julyssa
Dear Mr. Moore,
We watched the Inspired learning video in class and I was glad that other people agreed with us. As I watched the video, I saw high school students talking to you about how the laptops are helping us in class and become better writers. The high school students were absolutely right. The laptops are changing our lives. We are getting live experiences that we will need to take with us all the way to college. They really inspired me because I know that they agree with me, and that is amazing!
~Kaylee
Dear Mr.moore,
I think that the video was about how technology has been a huge step in learning but a small step back. I say a small step back because are we perfect with technology. But are we becoming dependent on it we should not like technology really much.
Your friend,
Rubenz
Dear Mr. Moore
I feel that learning About triple e's is inspiring. Especially when ts coming from high schoolers mouths. I think its inspiring when its told by high schoolers the most is one because there older and have more wisdom and two because everything they say makes so much sense. They include a lot of things we said. They said they always get cramps in there fingers when they write. Thats also what some of us said. This video was very inspiring
Dzenad
Dear Mr. Moore and Ms. V,
That video is really cool. I think that any teacher who saw this would definitly believe that these computers have really made a difference in students' learning. It's amazing how much our writing has improved since we got these computers. For most students it's because of the new technology, but for me, it's so much more than that. We are all excited to work with the new triple eee's, yet, I am excited because we are learning new ways to learn and you are learning along with us. The best part is that so many people work so hard now because of thes little machines. Is it really the machines that make them want to write? No. They just say that to cover up the fact that they like to write because they can express themselves in a way that talking can't. Your words are ways to express yourself. All people can write, and all people can learn. These triple eee's are just the thing that schools need to use. They help teachers and students learn. This video really proves how much these things have helped. I hope that teachers and students all over can get a chance to work with the triple eee's.
Sincerely,
Cheyanne
Dear Ms. V and Mr. Moore,
I think that the video Dan Maas put was really amazing. It was so cool because you can see other people and how they feel about the laptops from other schools. I think that it was a great idea to put all the kids and people from different schools on the video because you can actually understand how they said they improved and liked them. I even saw other kids that I know from another school. The video was just great! He did a great job.

Dear Ms.V and Mr.Moore,
As I was watching the video I saw that My picture was there. A t first I felt embarrassed me but then I realized that I shouldn't because it was something that I represented, so I put it together and didn't care who looked at the video or my silly picture.
I also thought that the Video was really cool. The reason why I thought it was really cool was because the kids that talked about the laptops like Ben. Not our Ben, but the Ben from the other school. Those kids kind of spoke the truth, because it has helped me in my writing, and how I organize my stuff a little bit.

Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
That video th at we watched this morning was very cool it tolled how the EEE's helped us in our writing and made writing more exciting then having to write by hand.The other thing the video talked about was that it had picture of the EEE's and showed the students working on the EEE's internet on their blogs.Posting comments or on the wiki.
Sincerely,
Richard
Dear Mr. M and Ms.V,
The video was really cool. The way it was cool was that it had some good music, interviewed real live kids about them. Those were the cool things about the video. This made me think more about my writing. It also lets me know now that I have improved my writing a lot. For example, I have been writing a lot more and about a lot of more things. For example, I wrote a patch on the computer that was 5 pages long. While we have been using these Triple es, I never thought about how much I have changed as a writer. I have changed in a lot of other things as well.. That has also let me know in how many things I have changed. That was a great video and it helped me a lot with now seeing how much I have changed in subjects.

Dear Ms.V & Mr.M,
I think that this was interesting because this video is a very good video for people that about just got there new computers witch I think is a good thing because sometimes when people get there computers they barly know what theyn are doing so all I got to say is that they sould watch this video.

Dear Mr.Moore and Miss.VanderVelde,
As we were looking at the video I thought that it was amazing. What I thought was amazing was how technology is used in other schools. I think that it is wonderful that in our district has Eee Computers. I think that this video will prove to the world how we really need computers and how we use them. In the video it should how other elementary schools use computers. I saw that some kids were trying to help other students on the computers. I saw that there were also teachers helping students. When we were almost finished with the video I saw that some students from fifth grade were reading their comments. The people who read them were Narah, Nathan, Cheyanne, Hamadi, and Lupita. Lupita read her comment and her dad's comment. Then there were high school students talking about how these can help students. A lot of them were talking about how the technology is helping students. I think that these computers have helped me a lot. It has helped in math, science, reading, social studies, and writing. I am glad I have the opportunity to use these computers. I think that this video taught me how other students use the computers and what people think about computers. I am also really glad because at home I do not have a computer to use. I hope we use them next year.

Dear Ms. V & Mr. M
I think the other schools that had the computers are learning the way we did and it was hard not having these computers here and it was hard not having the computers and the hand writing was so out of style these days but we learn the hard way . I think leaving 5th grade is not my day but some of us is going to meet you in the future and I think with out the computers we would not compelet the 5th grade and with out the teachers it would be hard to learn the stuff you guys told us to do with these computers and how to do with these computers and the rules of these rocking computers and with out the computers we would not show the world what we are doing to become famous and show other people that we believe in are selfs.
Love Ashley
Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.V,
I thought that the video was really interesting because the LHS choir was singing in the back round and I thought that this was cool because my brother is in the LHS choir. I think that it was a good idea that Dan Mass created this video because it gave people the chance to say how the Eee's have helped us. Great job Dan Mass!
Your friend,
Lupita
Dear Mr.Moore,
What I think is that when people see as working in our computers I just get so happy and Know that they are trying to get some computers for their schools.On the other hand I think that our fifth grade are the lead for getting the computers.In addition we should get a opportunity to use them next year because we might not use this computers again for a long time from now and on.
Sincerly,
Evelin
Dear Mr.Moore and Miss.Vandervelde,
While I my class was watching Dann Masses video I was noticing that in video Dann Mass got some pictures of teachers . I thought that this video was amazing because if somebody saw this video they would be WOW I would wan't oone of these computers so I can keep everything organized and I would be able to type a whole bunch also if they saw this video they would be empresed by how many writing they saw and how many sheets were full of writing. Another thing that was really amazing about this video is that Dann Mass also video taped some students in another school how these computers can help us and also how these computers helped us become better writers.If I was in one of these videos I would exclaim how these little computers have helped me be a better writer,how I got organized and Millions of other thing.Another thing that I liked about this video is when he also got some of the Fith graders there computers and another thing that I noteiced is that he shot a photo of a blog.At they another thing that I thought was amazing is that Dann Mass video taped some people reading post.It was truly amazing how he made his blog.I think that millions of students have been liking these computers mostly because they don't like writing on a peace of paper and they like to type better then getting you hands tierd .How I feel is so emotioned when I type really fast then just write my hands just are so exited to type they start typing quick like a cheetah.I hope that I can make one of these videos when I grow up.
Love.
Gina
