Goal+5+Report



= Matamata Christian School Goal 5  =

Focus:
==== Matamata Christian School is to develop a scope and sequence for curriculum delivery with an e-learning lens. This includes planning, thinking tools, learning pathways and use of ICTs to support learning. This current target of using Twiducate is highlighted under the part where it mentions ICTs supporting learning. At Matamata Christian School we value our staff and saw their was a need to utilise ICT to maximise our learning and teaching time. ====

Rationale:
==== Our initial intention as students utilising Twiducate was to use it to collaborate and to see if was a useful tool that could be used in the classroom. This idea came about after talking to colleagues at the Learning at Schools conference in February 2011. Later on in that term it became clear that having two staff meetings a week was really onerous and staff discussed ideas that might work. Initially I had shared the idea about using Twiducate or a form of ICT/Online sharing space to share administration, notes and notices. As a teacher in 2007-2008 at Otumoetai Primary School a similar idea had been shared and utilised for awhile. Reflecting upon the fact that it was successful and that staff used it, I felt it worthy of sharing as an idea with the staff. From there I approached Alistair Paterson, gave him some ideas and left it up to him as to if it was a good idea. After thought and trial by himself, our principal came back with the idea and we were enlisted into his class on Twiducate to trial this option to cut back on two staff meetings a week to one. Following a successful beginning to this trial, our first inquiry unit began and I trialed using Twiducate for partners to collaborate on their inquiry project. ====
