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!

Hi I'm Onieka from Sacred Heart in Petone. I am the lead teacher for ICT in our school and also teach a lovely group of year one children. I am origionally from Canada but have lived on and off in New Zealand since I was 12. I enjoy the arts, cooking and travelling. I am married to an Astronomer who for work lives most of the year in Tekapo on top of Mt John - so a long distance relationship!

Short Term Goal: To have students using our classroom computers independently on relevant activities, building thier computer skills and knowledge.

Hi Onieka! I learned some new things about you reading the above comments! You have the right idea with your goal but perhaps you could narrow it down to a specific method or idea on how you want to develop learning through ICT. Even though you might be doing a range of things in the classrooom, it could be useful to focus on one key strategy to think about in-depth and report back on using this forum.

We have made patterned quilts in kidpix and finished pictures that were half done (symetry) and as a part of our topic in term 1 we have drawn the lifecysle of a butterfly also in kidpix. I have made time for students at reading and maths to independently use our classroom computers to try set activities or relevant games. As a part of our school wide goals, there is a commitment to make sure we have planned ICT integrated into Topic units. As the lead teacher in ICT at Sacred Heart I am currently collecting data on student ability and staff use of ICT in the classroom.
