=​​ ﻿ Look at the things we have done... = = ﻿ =
 * = ENGLISH  = ||
 * The **ENGLISH** department have been using Educo with their Year 11 students. Resources used throughout the year are uploaded to the site and can be accessed by all students. It has been used as a tool to assist with study due to the availablity of practice essay questions, exam questions, and further resources that aren't viable for printing. The students also find the glossary handy when learning the essential vocabulary for the subject. A plus is that the website can be used for years to come with little updating needed. || [[image:EDUCO.jpg width="593" height="340" align="center"]] ||
 * = LANGUAGES﻿  = ||
 * Towards the end of term one TGHS had an ICT sharing session. Joy O'Connor showed the staff the Timnet wiki site then Val Cameron demonstrated how she used Educo to teach her level 3 German students. A sample of one of her pages can be seen here.

Val has found this site so useful as her students can practise their language skills at home and she can keep track of how they are doing. All of her students use this site from home on a regular basis. Val found it time consuming to set up this resource but the activities and links have been well used by her students and she can see the benefits through her students accelerated improvement. ||= || Click on the picture to take a look... || || The **DRAMA** department has used a digital projector in two ways. Firstly to back light a play that was entirely silhouette (as seen in the photos). Secondly using back project to add scenery/backdrops to plays really cheaply.
 * The **LANGUAGES** department have been ranked top in the country from using the languageperfect.co.nz site || [[image:Language_TGHS.jpg width="626" height="251" align="center"]] ||
