Milestone Report # 3

Anderson’s Bay School staff have set goals on a school protopage which documents their goals under the three main headings below and allows staff to add entries to record their progress over time. We also use this as a reflective tool as well. All staff have made entries on the protopage. To view individual staff goals and progress please go to [|www.protopage.com/ictandybay] login otakou. Please log out once you have viewed.

Most staff have decided to view and use suitable websites in the classroom and to read and update themselves with the latest thinking such as the Kath Murdoch Inquiry model. Many have taken on board the information they have received from PD sessions at schools and there is now a greater use and knowledge of thinking strategies. Every second staff meeting this term has been dedicated to the development of ICT with reference to the cluster workshops and website.
 * 1) //Staff to set personal goals with reference to the cluster web site://


 * 1) //Staff to set School Management Goal://

We have just had School Master installed and have all attended two professional development sessions with great success. All staff put their goals down as entering data on SM which they have achieved. We are currently investigated how to record specific tests and how to plan units on SM. All staff have enter initial data and running record results.

These range from learning about and using powerpoint to making sure the computer is used a certain times and more often throughout the day. Most staff are making updates on the staff protopage so it is easy to see progress and people that may need help.
 * 1) //Individual Goals – Class related://

//Summary:// It has been very pleasing to see all staff are now very confident on protopage. Some staff have set up their own class protopages and wikispaces to use at home and school and are enjoying the “fun” experiences their children are receiving from this learning opportunity. All staff, including part time staff are cluster members. We have been able to devote every second staff meeting to this ICT PD cluster. So far this term we have looked at SMS, Thinking Strategies, Web2.0 tools (protopage and wikispaces) and Inquiry learning using the Kath Murdoch model. Many classrooms have trialed and are using thinking strategies. One syndicate has used the Kath Murdoch Inquiry model for a topic and will do so again in term 4. The school is planning a whole school Inquiry unit for term 1 2008. Please see the additional pages for examples of web 2.0 tool use in our school.
