COMPUTER HEALTH


The very first thing to think about is your posture when working on the computer. It's very important to sit properly and at a good distance from the computer. So let's start work:

Read this information about Computer Health. Click on all the links (Stretches, Postures, Consequences)

Do the Quiz. When you finish answering the quiz, print it and keep it in your folder in the blog section.Remember to get a ring folder to be well organised with your class notes. Andrew and I will be asking you to look at things done in previous lessons, so if you keep them in order, it'll be easy to find them quickly.

The Stolen Generations


The Stolen Generations is a term used to describe those children of Australian Aboriginal descent who were removed from their families by Australian government Policies. The Australian Parliament has accepted that this was human rights abuse and on February 13 2008, led by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, issued a long apology to the Stolen Generations.

The Stolen Generations is "The Lost Generations". Aboriginal children who were removed by force from their parents and communities because they lacked good educational conditions, health care, economic support from the goverment policies. People may say "sorry" to them, but I think it is too late. All of us have seen the result. It is unfair for them.

Sth. in our life can be lost, but Sths. can not be lost. The youth of aboriginal children was eternaly lost. -_-
