Conclusions
Assuring support is readily available when required to support teachers in their learning is key. Assuring hardware is in good working order and available when needed is vital, and providing technical support is essential to ensure teachers don’t give up in frustration. A technician has been employed firstly as a teacher aide, although having him onsite has been beneficial for ICT as well. Regular review of progress scheduled in staff meetings is important to maintain momentum and the expectation that teachers are learning on an on-going basis.
Recommendations or next steps
Strong systems and self-review procedures need to be in place for future sustainability of practices. Regular review of hardware and ensuring ICTs are available and in working order are essential. Communication of expectation from a BOT, management and staff level are essential. An on-going review cycle will ensure continuation of progress in enabling student learning through ICTs.
Next Steps: Investigate the possibility of a BYOD policy, source and set up an effective learning management system off site – cloud based computing to ensure children are able to access their learning from any internet able device and provide seamless learning opportunities and increasing home/school partnerships in the learning process.
