2. Rationale
● We felt that there was a need for a space that
encouraged self-organised learning and where
students could be creative and comfortable with
technology.
● We decided to redesign and repurpose the current
media suite to enable better flexibility and collaboration
for our Primary students.
● Whole class teaching doesn’t fit our model of learning.
● Media suite was only used 22% of the time from Sept.
to Nov.
20. Continuing to meet our students’
ICT needs
● Students in Years 5 and 6 have their own iPads.
● Year 4 will come online in September.
● Each classroom has 6 MacBooks.
● We have 4 mobile computer trolleys (13 MacBooks)
for classroom use and 2 sets of 12 iPads which can
be booked out.
25. What steps have we taken so far?
● Formed a working group
● Requested budget allocation
● Discussed new room design
● Decided on devices for 26 users: 8 iMacs, 8 iPads, 10
MacBooks
● Considered other equipment: green/blue wall, camera,
microscopes, interactive tabletop?
27. To do list:
● order ICT equipment
● choose a name for new space
● soundproof discussion rooms
● rewire as necessary
● paint green wall
● create wall art
● order furniture (soft mobile seating;
low tables for Beebots and
