Lead+Teacher+sessions+(TPS)

18th June 2010 Jo Sarah Fiona Trevor

Discussed: 1: **Teacher share session from Tuesday 15th**: Some amazing sharing of current ways teachers are using ICT in their rooms. We discussed how some of this needs to be captured and shared in our wiki space.

2: **Open morning on 25th:** Planning for this was carried out. The intention is to share with parents the shift happening into 21st century learning. There will be a presentation followed by the opportunity to visit the computer suite and some classrooms where they will see the technologies being utilised within learning.

3: **Lead teacher goals** Initial personal goals were discussed and clarified. Success criteria were drafted for the revised goals.

A **continuum** was discussed and each lead teacher identified where they were on the continuum and their next steps.

1 No usage of the technology 2 Learn the technology (play – discover) 3 Teacher uses the technology to support teaching 4 Learners use the technology in their learning (supported) 5 Learners independently use technologies, as appropriate, to be a learner.

The shift from stages 1 to 4 require little change in practice other than integration of technologies, the shift from stage 4 to 5 requires a probable shift in our practice for most of us.

What technologies have we used in the past, but are now no longer using? Why? What technologies are we currently using? Wht technologies are we aware of that we could be using better? From this we started forming a page of resources and links to do with ICT in literacy
