//Goal achieved// // √ // //The BOT were given a tour of the school website at the last meeting. At every meeting ICT Professional Development is reported including information about which staff members attended which courses and what the courses were about.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //The parents have been told about the school website at Assemblies and also via the weekly school newsletter.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I attended a one-day training course in Wellington on the 26th July.//

//Goal achieved// // √ // //I have been using computers most days with the children. We have started to publish our own work using Microsoft Word. I have organised parents to come in 3 mornings a week during reading time to take junior children to the computer suite to work on the Super Star software we have. I have used other educational software to reinforce learning such as Maths Adventures and the BBC schools website that has online activities that the children are able to use. I have also introduced the children to Google to find information on various things such as current events that the children bring along to share for news, extension exercises in reading to find out more about a topic.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I developed a site on Protopage for the school and also my class to use, however I decided that it was more important to continue to develop the school’s website that everyone has access to rather than spend extra time developing a site that has limited access.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I have an ICT display in the class that has the learning intention that the children are working on and a sample of their work.//
 * Deborah Charleson**

//Goal achieved// // √ // //Yes I have been making more of an effort to use Microsoft Word, Excel for graphing and Powerpoint.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I have become more familiar with Protopage and have developed my own page but don’t think that I will continue to use it due to time constraints.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I have completed this goal and the children have used it successfully for the purpose that it was designed for but again will not develop this any further as we are developing our school website.//

I would like to continue to work on this more next term.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I have worked on this but have decided that it is not worth developing any further we already have a school website that children and parents have access to.// //Goal achieved// // √ // //I have attended professional development workshops for ICT cluster and found them beneficial in further learning and am looking forward to continuing with these.//

We decided to have the same staff goals for everyone instead of different personal goals. · Log on to the ICT Cluster website every week and become familiar with it. //Goal achieved x// // – needs to continue next term// · Write a comment about ourselves on our member profile. //Goal achieved x// // – needs to continue next term// · Use thinking tools in the classroom. //Goal achieved// // √ - but will still continue next term//
 * 1) **Staff to set personal goals with reference to the cluster web site**

//We need to continue to work on becoming more familiar with the cluster website and also write our member profiles. Some of the staff have found the website useful for accessing other sites and also using the powerpoints. We have been using the thinking tools successfully in the classroom with the junior school focusing on using the Six Thinking Hats for our Healthy Eating topic and the senior school using PMI and Y charts, for their integrated curriculum topic and in reading and writing to record their ideas.//

· Be able to access School Master from your laptop both on and off the network. //Goal achieved x// // – needs to continue next term// · Be able to navigate your way around the student records to find information about the children in our class. //Goal achieved x// // – needs to continue next term//
