Feedback from the 3News coverage of the CHaOS project and the Tablet classroom has been overwhelmingly positive according to Brooklyn School principal, Chris Bryant, and project facilitator, Dean Stanley. Both have received numerous phonecalls and emails inquiring about the project.
"We've had good feedback all round with positive interest from principal colleagues as well," says Chris.
DigiOps project facilitator, Garry Falloon, was also busy replying to phonecalls and emails after the clip went to air saying he was surprised and delighted at how many people had seen the item.
"Educators will be following the progress of the Tablet classroom with great interest," says Garry.

Being watching 3News tonight (Tuesday, 6 June) for coverage of DigiOps initiative, the CHaOS project.
Filmed at Wellington’s Brooklyn School, 3News is reporting on the school’s pilot class, which is trialling HP Tablet technology.
Instead of using traditional pen and notebook, each of the 26 students in the Year 5 and 6 class complete 80 percent of their schoolwork using the Tablet, and from Term 3 the students will be able to take the Tablets home to do their homework.
The pilot hopes to see increased levels of engagement and improved overall learning outcomes for students.
