This document summarizes how Huntly Primary School in New Zealand has integrated information and communication technology (ICT) across several subject areas and classrooms. It provides examples of how teachers have used ICT to support learning objectives in shared reading/writing, math, virtues, social sciences, and communication. Students participated in interactive online stories, took photos of shapes around the school for a geometry lesson, wrote poems and drew pictures about virtues, communicated via email and video call with other schools, and more. Teachers found that ICT engagement increased students' knowledge, confidence, and participation in lessons.

13. go on a shape hunt and use our knowledge of the digital camera to take pictures of various shapes around the school.

14. Discuss the pictures of our shapes and why we have placed them.

15. Create a graphical display of how shapes to show which shapes fits

17. The children were paired up with more able children and went on a shape hunt.

18. Children were given a specific shape they needed to look for with in the school.

19. Each child took their photo and we presented them in a graph.

20. We discussed which shape the photo was showing and we then placed it on the table. Each child was then given their own set of pictures to cut and paste in to the correct shape columns. What great fun we had.

21. Learning intention: To use our pictures to create a discussion board with regards to where and why we should place the shapes there. This is the completed graph that we as a class worked through to place the shapes in the correct place. We had a lot of discussion as to where the shapes could go and why we would put them their.

22. Margaret Pratt – Yr 1/2 Learning intention: The children in Room 2 have just begun using the computers to assist their reading. Outcome: A group read together the book “The little Snowman, then they went on to the Ed Resources site and did the “Ten little Snowmen” activity. On this site is the reading of the story, each word is written out and said then they have to follow the instructions and complete the activity related to that sentence. When they have finished it the ten little snowmen is sung to the tune of the Ten Little Indians.

24. Sarah Williams –Yr 2 Learning intention: At Huntly Primary we learn about and use a different virtue each week. The children had to write poems about the virtues as if they were real people. They had to use their knowledge of the virtues to create an original piece that showed what a virtue would look like if it were a person. They had to include details like appearance, friends, where they would live and what they would eat. The children then used their writing to create a visual image of that virtue person using the paint programme. They had to make sure it matched their description. Learning Outcome: This activity allowed the children to become more accurate with their hand motions while drawing (with the mouse). They learnt how to change colours and fill areas. They learnt how to erase their mistakes and they learnt how to save their image as a JPEG file so they could insert it into their writing. They really enjoyed this activity and we got some very interesting poems and pictures.

25. Examples of work Happiness – By Bronwyn Thomas-Thompson. If happiness was a person she would have long hair with curls like the waves from the sea and she would be pretty like a pretty princess. She would eat love hearts and she would live in a flower. Her friends would be kindness and joyfulness and love because they are happy and kind and they do stuff for her like giving her presents and making her food and buying her lollies. Peacefulness – By Linkin Williams-Randall. If peacefulness was a person he would have shiny eyes. He would have red hair and red eyes and shiny red slip-ons – like Clifford the big red dog. He would have red pants and a red t-shirt. He would have white skin like the moon. He would eat cake and feijoas. He lives in a house that is full of food. I will be his friend. He looks clean.
