**The LEARNZ Renewable Energy field trip got underway yesterday.** Shelley, the LEARNZ teacher, travelled from Christchurch to Taupo. You can read about her experience at the LEARNZ website in **Field Trip** - **Diaries.** Today the first 2 audiconferences take place. You can read the questions the students are planning on asking at **Field Trip** **- Au****dioconferences.** Recordings of these conferences and videos of the field trip will be posted later in the day or over night. I have set up a page for each day of the Field Trip so you can make comments about what happens on that day. See LNZ 4 FT1-Tues, LNZ 4 FT2-Wed, LNZ 4 FT3-Thurs, LNZ 4 FT4-Fri. You may have a question you would like to ask one of the experts. Find out how to do this at LNZ 5 Ask-an-Expert.

It is great to see you getting under way. Continue with reading background topics at LEARNZ and making comments on the LNZ 2 - Background page. Today go to the LNZ 3 - Interactives page to find out about working through and recording responses to the ** Interactive activities ** at the LEARNZ site. You can also begin working through the Focus Cards from the TAH10 resource. Begin by reading the explanation at TK 2 - Focus Cards. __** Picture sizes **__ Large pictures can take up a great deal of room on pages. Please try to keep the size of the pictures you post no larger than 400 x 400. Microsoft Office Picture Manager is a great program on Windows PCs for managing pictures. You will tools for Resizing and Compressing in the "Picture" menu.

**LEARNZ Renewable Energy field trip** You will have received an email from your teacher or read in the Connected Kids 2012 classroom about how to log into the LEARNZ Renewable Energy field trip. We are participating in a "passive" manner with this virtual field trip (vft). By that I mean we are like a "fly on the wall" looking in. Some schools are "active participants" and will be involved in the audioconferences held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this first week. After the audioconferences have occurred they will be posted on the LEARNZ Renewable Energy website for all students enrolled in the vft. There will also be daily diary entries and video clips from the teacher who actually goes on the trip. You may have a print copy of this integrated Te Ara Hou resource from Te Kura or you might access pdf files from pages on this site.
