=__**Next Learning Steps**__= What do you see as your next learning steps?

I would like to develop the use of e-portfolios for my use and for the use of keeping track of my students progress.

Developing and using a class blog

To get children more independent rather than whole class lessons and teacher directed

"To improve parent awareness on the uses of ICT in the school Show an effective levelled plan for whole school teaching and learning with;

e-learning - web tools - digital equipment etc, a plan that links or provides levelled steps for our school to build ICT knowledge and learning (A PLAN) maybe a strategic steps plan? To become immersed and knowledgable with ICT with community collaboration"

consider developing e-portfolios at a later point once I feel comfortable with classroom formative assessment practices typical of those evident in e-portfolios

More focused use of digital objects to support maths curriculum. Formal teaching of digital citizenship/netsafety throughout the school.

To increase confidence and knowledge of ICT tools and programmes

"Having a data projector available all time so I can be using it so much more for all aspects of teaching.

My learning - how to be more computer oriented in my teaching - wiser use of limited resources

How to make better use of what we have so that the students are even more confident in the basics and advanced stuff.

More green screening fun / animation / cartooning / publishing and presenting made easy"

"Facebook for the school?

Get my head into Blog and wiki- i have been digressing with other aspects of the job .....

Get back into regularly using ICT tools as part of staff meetings etc.... a bit of a paper war has gone on here as we have looked at documentation NZC implementation etc....

These are things I can do!"

Using ICT more in class programmes, as only teachinga small amount ard to have continuity and ICT infrastructure is not up to scratch for what i would like to do. Spend more time planning to integrate ICT into everyday lesons and decide on most appropriate tools.

Continuing to use ICT more in the classroom, and keep experimenting with different things. I do suddenly come up with ideas for doing an activity, and then think, oh I could do that using photography or something like that. Lots of incidental uses of ITC keep coming up. Also using some further programmes to enhance learning eg Web 2.0 tools etc. The children have used some of these with Leonie but not with me.

Creating a wiki for my class so they can access group work while I am teaching other groups.

Interactive whiteboard - need to learn how to use

To become more confident using ICT tools in the new entrant class and to continue to explore different options to see what tools I can use to enhance literacy learning in the classroom.

Up-skilling in Web 2.0 tools

Learning how to plan and implement Inquiry learning

"Need to keep challenging myself to continue to learning about and using new ICT technologies as a way of enhancing and improving my teaching and learning programme. Would like to effectively use a wiki as a way to maintain a good home school learning partnership and as a way of sharing student produced work."

"To continue to gain knowledge and experience with different programmes to use a multimodal approach to teaching within my classroom environment. To ensure that I build ICT time into my group rotations for numeracy and literacy, as I feel that it would be most beneficial for my students."

"# e-portfolios.


 * 1) blogs

Using more ICT within the classroom

Not sure of where I need to go to next - how to use ICT consistently in class

"1. How to get the children to work more independently with ICT during class.

2. Organise computer suite and timetable.

3. To use ICT in more of a realistic authentic context."

"Managing picture better so that my use of it to enhance teaching and the chiildrens use of it is embedded in thud daily programme

Improving my use of graphic organisers to enhance thinking skills,

Using my wikispace more effectively and recording evidence of learning outcomes better "

To increase use of web 2.0 tools in the classroom.

Spending time working with students that are not so keen on ICT. Building their confidence by introducing simple software and publishing of work on wiki.

More use of Web 2.0 Tools in the classroom.

"Employ' online resources as part of a wiki to make ICT / online learning a more prominent part of my classroom program. The aim is to use less paper, and make learning, and assessment online more prominent - particularly follow-up activities in Literacy"

Honours in eLearning, specific learning in ICT leadership and curriculum planning

"Using MP3 players in reading rotation (have just started).

Getting students to create their own Photopeach/Slide presentations. "

Soak as much up as I can at learning at schools to bring back to classroom programme for next year.

I need inspiration and great ideas from other teachers who have used a program or tool in their classroom.

ICT becoming ingrained in everything we do

google docs using them more with the kids

Finding out more on Studyladder and Curriculum online, also Digistore

Increasing the use of ICT in my class now that my ICT infrastructure has been sorted out. I intend to have the students creating and collaborating with other students in class and around the world.

To use what I've learnt more often so I can build in confidence. To take risks more often and have ago at Wikispaces and Blogs etc. To become better at using a digital camera- from taking photos to printing and displaying.

To incorporate the above mentioned tools into my daily/ weekly programmes and planning!!!! (Once I have fully functioning linked up computers that we can rely on.

Using E learning capabilities more as learning tools.

=__**Which ICTs t are you most looking forward to using in 2012?**__=

I look forward to working more with e-portfolio's

Film making

Camera, video camera if available, voice thread, wordle

ICT's that help organise, collate and integrate all school data VLN's, SMS, LMS, e TAP and Musac files as one and are easily accessable

have not thought that far ahead. I think however I do need to become more familiar with web 2.0 tools. I am still hesitant or perhaps lack confidence to use many of these tools.

Integration of personal digital devices for those pupils who can/want to use them.

Flip mino to download into making movies and grabbing off photos

"computers

Knowledge Net ??

Love to have a cpomputer classroom where children could be set tasks to complete on computer at the same time - using it for reading, maths, typing, Word processing, inquiry, web quests, all curriculum areas - so they can be using it as a tool effectively."

"Blog, wiki and developing school website as the digital face of the school Responses above relate to what I currently 'do' when I am in and out of classrooms.... a bit hard for a principal in a 'mostly' released role to complete this accurately."

Hopefully learning management system and using blogs more!

tablets

Smart devices; purchasing of new technologies - e.g. tablet or Ipad.

"Continue with the web 2 tools that we have used.

Developing a thinking and inquiring culture at school."

Just continuing to try to integrate ICT more, but gradually, and in a purposeful way as fitting situations and ideas come up. To help learning all round, both myself and the children.
