15th May... Yes a Saturday, but as they say, anytime anywhere. After a great day yesterday I have thought about adding a few files for others to read, and discuss as examples for PD. Kim

1. I wrote an article last year for Massey on the Interactive Whiteboard that i would like to share because it explains each individiuals journey and also gives some good references for anyone wanting some background for explaining why we must have these in our classrooms.



=
Abstract This paper draws on current writings on the implementation of interactive whiteboards into classroom practice and research carried out in both the UK and U.S.A from 2004 -2008, evaluating the impact of interactive whiteboards for teaching and learning in schools. Both studies see interactive white boards as a tool for teaching, considering it a catalyst for change. Features of pedagogy and shifts in teacher practise are identified, clarifying what are the essential factors for teachers to make the most of their interactive white boards as an effective tool within their classrooms. Naysayers still concerned with the return to didactic forms of teaching must now be silenced by this research. This paper will also consider these findings with a view towards the New Zealand context and provide possible avenues for consideration by teachers when meeting the learning needs of all learners, but more specifically, that of Māori. ======

**Keywords:** Interactive whiteboards, teacher pedagogy, change, evaluation, Maori education
2. Examples of simple ways to link our PD this year into our Performance and appraisal processes. These along with the feedback discussed by Kathe yesterday will be great for us.

We are focused this week on our students as digital learners... We all know they can work TV remotes from the age of 2 or even younger! They love technology, they live for technology and they learn with technology, so it is our responsibility as a learning community to utilise this teaching technique as much as possible. The //World Wide Web// is the interactive portal that can support in-class programmes from publishing writing to information research, basic fact practise and basic drill skill games at each individual child’s level. It can show and share the most current events visually and instantly. As long as we use this tool as a meaningful focus, teach our children to be discerning users and support good internet safety practises the world is literal their oyster. We have all set goals which we will show case at our end of term parent evening. Something that we are all looking forward to! Otherwise if you can’t that wait, log on and follow our progress.

A BUSY morning for all, with lots of great creations. We are on a roll and working towards a visual sympony for our parents at the end of the term... Here goes... Principal reflections for this journey are set up on the following link: [] School Wiki and Blog training created our classroom blogs with the school wikispace as the central portal for further development later in the year: Take a look from this link: Te Karaka Wikispace

Hi Megan here getting up to date with ICT (if thats possible!). Everything changes so much, but it's heaps of fun being on the learning train! 2 March My goals for the next week are to:- - Show Kim how to add photos and reduce the pixels as well as add cool text! - Write reflective notes in my wiki and... - talk the people in power into letting me buy a cool (and easy to use) video camera!

February Update: e-learning here we come! Goals and plans discussed and action plans begun at umbrella level for us. Welcome to Koka Sam, we are looking forward to working with you... na Kim

Monday 1 March 2010 Megan After two sessions with Koka Sam we have our plan for the directions we will take this year. It has been difficult for us not to attend the conference in Rotorua as we have had our other kaupapa in the lime light and have had to meet with MOE... As our lead Teacher, I will be our link to the classrooms and support for myself and our other teachers. From the plan we have begun with two simple focuses: 1) blogging with our students to share their writing 2) a school wikispace to inform and share our kura's stories online for now and also historically once the year comes to an end.

My Goals: By the end of week 2, term 2, I will have shown Kim google docs and shown staff an example of skyping. By the end of week 2 of the autumn holidays I will have made reflective notes on the Ruapani2010 wikispace
