3. Our Journey...
In 2008 our school entered an ICT PD
contract.
the beginning.......
We were Very much digital dinosaurs!
There were probably 3 digital immigrants
who were using ICT on a personal level
(planning etc) and were trialling/ using
programmes with children.
We had an ICT suite with an active board, 10
desktops and a cow with 12 laptops which was
not well used
There were 5 teacher TELA laptops, 3 digital
ICT cameras and 1 movie camera in the school
We had a boring website which was not
updated very often
Just another thing to do! AND.... if you mentioned the word ICT, most
of our dinosaurs grimaced and buried their
heads in the sand.
4. Our Journey... the
contract
Some of us were the explorers, taking
risks, taking the lead and trying to model
good practice
Our ICT PD with Beth Lamb focused on up
Sharon skilling teacher’s knowledge and use of
Deb
applications
This led to all teachers needing and
getting a TELA laptop
We also purchased more laptops and
placed them in key classes, installed
Thankfully we didn’t have to use the wireless through out the school and got a
whip........often! new server
Deb, Sharon and Craig attended the big
apple bus tour which helped us to plan our
ICT vision for the school (where we were at
and in what direction we wanted to head)
5. Our Journey... the
contract We didn’t wanthas beento fall
Our approach to ICT PD
but steady. anyone
slow
off the cart
Due to our large staff we feel that this
has been the right approach and more of
our staff have been infected because we
have allowed them to work at their own
pace. PD has focused on the teachers
individual needs
7 staff went on a mini bus tour and 1
on the big apple tour. (2009)
11 staff attended a mini bus tour this
year
We held an open day which was hugely
successful. There were approx 80
parents who came and we had a lot of
positive feedback.
We’ve upgraded our website and the
We’ve got kidpix, comic life, pages, keynote majority of classes have a blog or wiki
which one do you want to learn about? All classes have a data projector
Our growth in knowledge, use of
applications, and integration of
elearning has been HUGE
6. Our Journey... life
after the contract
e learnin
g
How can we keep the momentum going?
We have an elearning vision and budget
plan
We know that for integration of elearning to
truly happen we will need at least 5 laptops in
every classroom
We will continue to have staff PD by running
workshops at staff meetings and set up a data
base of teachers within the school who can
help other teachers with applications
Now what did we do with our We need access to quality PD
elearning vision again? We will keep links with other schools in our
cluster open

9. How do the children feel about
the access to ICT tools as part
of the classroom programme?
Teachers have noticed that access to
ICT tools improve the children’s
motivation, focus and knowledge. It
creates a positive attitude towards
learning and adds another dimension
to teaching and learning
This is what some children have to
say....
