I would love a data projector to show sequential images of recipes and classroom routines. The overall big idea of how a projector could benefit the Food and Textile Room is really exciting! Something to work towards for 2009 perhaps? : ) : ) I have been using Protopage more not sure who looks at this though? I am looking forwards to the movie maker session coming up. I would like to have an opportunity to use a data projector I think my textiles class could benefit from this greatly as well as the food classes. .. Use protopage for informing whats happening in Art.. I need to learn how to use a data projector in ways that would enhance the Visual Arts programme. PD on how classroom teachers put it to use in different ways so I could become familiar with it.

This has been such an exciting term with so many things happening in the school. The arrival of data projectors in each room has really increased enthusiasm and skill of teachers and has already become an invaluable tool in the classrooms. The planning and PD sessions have everyone talking and sharing ideas. We are all looking forward to 2008 with far less apprehension as so much is already in place and our confidence is evident for all to see. Everyone knows that if you are unsure then there is always someone to ask and the help is only a question or email away. 2007 has been a very good year in our school for building on our ICT and inquiry skills significantly.
