Do You Feel the Enlightment?

If there are about 20 pages in material left to learn and the test in less than 4 days,what shall you do?
Answer: TWEET :)

The method that Mr. Mahli applied in order to allow us to attain necessary information at an extremely fast rate was not only efficient but also more knowledgable.
Answering the questions as tweets allowed us to summarize important topics and in addition to also have access to them technologically,whenever,wherever.
( If someone in the world happens to click on any of our twitter pages, they are going to be pretty amazed at how much information kids can possess and how they probably have nothing better to do. Little do they know.)

Moreover, we were able to focus on particular topics with the most efficient elementary process available, DRAWING.
Who knew pretty colours and iPad technology could be so educational?

PM's Beautiful Nature


On our cold, yet interesting, walk around Princess Margaret's four walls, we were able to regard features within the environment that we may have possibly had no heed to at first. 
Due to the changing climate, certain facets of the environment such as trees, grass, clouds, and pavements experience significant changes in their appearance.

This picture shows PM's finest trees. If taken into consideration, it is evident that the tree to the right, compared to the tree in the left, is slanted. This is due to its ultimate position; the latter tree is behind the school building whereas the former tree is protected by its proximity to the wall of the school. Thus, when precipitation or winds occur, the tree is caused to lean towards the direction that these forces of nature occur.

iPads, why we love them so much...

As society takes a step towards a more enhanced and 'materialistic' society, it is apparent that school settings have also resolved to more variant approaches in teaching material.
The usage of iPads in Geography class allowed us to experience the greater light of knowledge that lies in these beautiful devices. (Thank-you Steve Jobs, thank you. :))
Placing our pencils back in our backpacks and saving a few trees, we were able to establish a more effective method of learning class material through these Apple products and all its cool features. This proved to more appreciable rather than sitting in a cold classroom with Mr. Mahli attempting to teach us a chapter worth of material. (Him teaching through an iPad would obviously be a whole different thing).
In essence, the introduction of these new methods of gaining knowledge equivalent to one we achieve from books can also be seen as a step towards a more resourceful society. The reduction of paper and electricity could be a potential for the betterment of the present world conditions.
