This is your space to put your goals for the use of ICT in teaching and learning. You can give everyone updates on how you are going throughout the year. At the end of the year, you can upload a short presentation showing the results of your work to this page. Have fun with this space!

My Goal:
 * To use the data projector for teaching in class i.e. creating lines and filling with different colours and numbers (maths)
 * to use the nzmaths web site for the class using a peg system.

Hello Teresa, Great to see you thinking about what you'd like to work on. How have you gone with implementing the NZ maths activities? Have you seen this have an effect on the learning of the children? The data projector is a great tool and it would be great if you could couch your goal for using this on the learning outcomes for its use.

eg To develop understanding of maths concepts through the use of the data projector to do whole class interactive activities and through children accessing maths digital learning objects on a rotational system.

Term 3, Hello, My goals have changed slightly from the beginning of the year. During our computer time in class I've been teaching my kids (using the data projector) to open the computer and log on, create a document, type their names using different fonts and print size and colour. The girls always want to copy their poems, but the boys, not so much. We've used Kidpiks quite a bit learning the different functions. As a follow on, after discussions on various topics we have drawn (at different times) plates of food, lunch boxes, survival kits, geometry shapes and patterns with lines of symmetry. We have also used paint for some of these. The kids have also learnt how to go onto the internet, use the drop down box and look for 'starfall' and click onto it. I use startfall mainly as part of my literacy centre where we use the peg system. The kids are also confident enough to operate the digital camera on their own. The next step then is to use their photos in photostory 3. Which I should have been using long before now. media type="custom" key="618955"
