 * Evidence || Synopsis ||
 * Fiona Tauranga Primary School ||  ||
 * The Tauranga Primary School curriculum makes explicit links to the integration of ICT into teaching and learning programmes || The Key Competencies underpin all teaching and learning programmes and are integrated across all learning areas. ICT/e-learning is an explicit part of our programme and is an emerging pedagogy with our staff as we work on the ICT/PD contract:

Example of the explicit links to ICT in key competencies is:

COMMUNICATORs @ TPS are striving to: oral, numbers, ICT, art, music, movement etc) > range of ways
 * Make meaning from many forms of communication (written,
 * Communicate knowledge, ideas, and experiences in a
 * Select and adapt communication to suit the purpose or audience

Sample from our curriculum document: Science || New and existing ICT strategies are being used more fruequently by teachers to support teaching and learning.
 * Jason

The Greenpark Curriculum includes specific links to the use of ICT’s in Health and PE, the Arts, Technology, Social Science, English, Mathematics and within the Key Competencies.

Teaching as inquiry model is being used to enhance reflective practise through staff meetings and sharing in the benefits of the process. || Jason Maintain the monmetum that has begun with ongoing sharing of new and existing ICT tools that enhance teaching and learning. Provide ongoing support and opportunities that will infuse the best of the strategies into the classroom.

Monitor the planning and assessment strategies to see how ICT is being integrated into the daily programming and with what advantages and disadvantages. Take time to discuss and iron out weaknesses and enhance the strenghts of ICT's use.

Having shared the 'Teaching as Inquiry' model and the reflective process ongoing discussion at both staff and syndicate level is required to enhance better teaching and learning. || **Gareth Scholes - Tauranga Intermediate School**

From the ICTPD contract we chose to focus on inquiry learning and developing a school approach. We have had previous models with mixed success. We requested the services of Trevor Bond and in looking at Inquiry Learning came back to our vision and school curriculum which does not support this approach. Therefore we have gone right back to the start revisioning and developing a school curriculum. This has been an exciting process and has included a variety of staff at different levels. Here are the developments of this process so far and our action plan.


 * THIS IS OUR NEW VISION; **

**OUR ORIGINAL VISION WAS;**

Together, we are commited, confident, motivated and far seeing. Doing our best to be our best.

We have developed our Action Plan for our Curriculum review;

 * 3) Presented to iTeam ICT Cluster Friday 13th August. Topics covered -How mimio is being used in Room 6 for Literacy and Numeracy and how KnowledgeNet is currently being utilised in the school. Showed examples of how I have been working towards my ICT goals.

__Mary Woods (TIS)__
 * 1) Held staff meeting in my classroom and shared with teachers planning for the integration of ICT with a Numeracy focus, especially with linking to the LMS 'Moodle' page. Showed teachers how to plan for rotations incorporating ICT. Shared web sites that can help in the classroom situation and after school.
 * 2) Presented LMS "Moodle" to teachers May 18. Shared the theory behind LMS and the 'Social Constructivism environment that this creates, linking the teacher, student and parent.

__Sarah Sharples (TPS)__ 1. I Presented to staff in my classroom how I use the mimio and other forms of ICT throughout the day, and in a variety of curricular areas. Focus was on 'integration' not adding ICT on as an extra. The importance of incorperating ICT into your planning and a range of examples were shared. I also showed the benefits and capabilities of mimio 'capture' mode for the first time.

2. Presented to Tauranga Primary, Greenpark and Tauranga intermediate teachers on 18th May. The hour workshop focused on integrating ICT into a busy classroom.

3. Sharing mimio resources and ideas at syndicate meeting. Taking along pen drive so teachers can try out new resources from mimio connect. || __Emma Hoggard: (TIS)__ 1. Need opportunity to follow this up. 2. Sharing of effective practice with mimio. Great to have some professional discussions about Mimio and across contexts eg, primary students. 3. People seemed enthusiastic and positive about the learning. Exemplars of explicit planning for integration of ICT was provided with Numeracy minutes. 4. Very successful with many attendees from Tauranga Primary School. Evaluations were positive. Resources shared in Cluster Share page.

__**Stacey Budd (TIS)**__
 * 1) Follow-up with Teacher Aides in term 3 as to what they would like to learn about next in ICT.
 * 2) The workshop went really well. All of the feedback was positive and teachers seem keen to try many ideas in class. A lot of the teachers that attended didn't realise how easy some of the resources are to use and have in the poast said they they are scared of using new software etc because they are afraid they might break it! I am going to organise Junior syndicate workshops/meetings to do throughout the year to look at one ICT tool per workshop, so then the use of particular software/tools will flow through the school from a young age.

__**Jo Howard (TPS) **__
 * 1) Positive feedback from staff, they felt if seemed more maneagable to be able to integrate ICT into their common practice. Powerpoint on Teacher Resources page on iTeam Wiki.
 * 2) Interactive component of presentation was well received. Mimio was very popular as was the sharing of possible webtools for literacy, assessment and formative feedback (Voicethread, Voki, Xtranormal and Jing).
 * 3) Most teachers are ready to move onto the 'next stage' with the use of their mimio in the classroom. Presenting new materials has given teachers a new challenge.
 * 4) Lead teachers showed interest in several items that were shared.

__Mary Woods (TIS)__
 * 1) Really positive feedback from staff, this being helpful to them, giving them ideas on how to include ICT in their classroom environment. Sharing effective planning strategies/practices for teachers was great and this created a positive learning environment for them to experiment.
 * 2) Teachers understanding the theory behind LMS was important for me to get this across, that there is a reason why we have a LMS page. I willingly gave my colleagues access to my LMS page so they had a good model to work from for their classroom LMS.

__ Sarah Sharples (TPS) __ 1. Very pleased with staff feedback after this presentation. One staff member said it was 'breakthrough' moment when i said 'ICT can replace something you are doing, not be an extra'. I followed up the session by putting mimio ink files on the server to share with other staff. Great to hear staff putting the ideas into practice.

2. Positive feedback at the end was a relief, as i wanted teachers to go away with something practical to use in class. It was nice getting emails from staff at the intermediate who wanted copies of my formative assessment mimio ink files that i use at the end of a maths lesson. Mimio ideas were popular, and more ways of using a digital camera.

3. The junior syndicate always gratefully respond to the sharing of resources, and ideas for how to use the mimio differently. || Last year I worked in regular staff meetings to develop the Greenpark Inquiry model and develop a greater awareness of inquiry and thinking tools within the school.  Encouraged and modelled active intergration of these areas into the curriculum and developed a scope and sequence of big ideas for 2010. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Explained Inquiry model and use of thinking tools to parents at meet the parents evening. Links to thinking tools and inquiry model are accessable on Knowlege Net for parents/caregivers. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Regular staff meetings in 2010 to develop assessment of inquiry and link this to our development of e-portfolios. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Presented to Tauranga Primary, Greenpark and Tauranga Intermediate teachers on 18th May.

Have provided support to teams when planning. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Parents show a positive interest in thinking tools and inquiry. They can see the benefits of developing these skills as skills for life. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Suggestions put forward to a possible template for our inquiry assessment - still in the planning stage, staff discussing possibilities and ideas. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Well recieved. A large number of Tauranga Intermediate staff present. They seem keen to intergrate many of these ideas and were supprised at how easy it is to intergrate thinking tools into the classroom programme. Had some interest in our Greenpark Inquiry Model and some would like to know more. One would like to observe inquiry in action in the classroom. || Tauranga Primary School At TPS all staff have completed an elearning continuum and have at least one appraisal goal with an elearning focus.
