Jo attended this conference and came back buzzing. She also had a great deal of resources. OpportunIT conference. Three teachers and our teacher aide attended the entire conference and one teacher attended the afternoon workshops. As a staff we have discussed the conference and how it has impacted on our teaching. The keynote speakers were a valuable resource and their ideas are being discussed in depth. We have had the opportunity to reflect on their ideas; through discussion we have accepted and/or challenged key ideas. Mary's digital photography workshop was valuable and has influenced some of the teachers and her ideas are being used at all levels of the school. Nick's web 0.2 tools was also a good workshop and has given staff more tools to use (we haven't had to look at irrelevant sites to start with). Mini Taster (Feilding). Two staff members attended this workshop. They came back and shared their new knowledge. Goal Setting. Mary's visit allowed each of us to get our heads around what it was we were actually wanting to do with regard to our personal goals.

We have had some great opportunities so far this year. Jo's conference gave us all a taste of what was to come. It also gave us a start as to where we were heading. The OportunIT conference allowed all staff to get involved. We all had the same message, yet all came away with different things. Jane gave us food for thought and evoked some interesting discussion. Ally carried on from Jane's talk and gave us ideas on how we need to be looking at our children in terms of the world they will be living in in the future and how we need to prepare them for this world. Jan gave a good overview of the inquiry framework which was timely as inquiry learning has become the focus of our teaching. Mary's workshop was practical and gave the teachers a chance to get hands on. It has given us the confidence to teach in a way that may have been not the norm to some. Nick also allowed us to play, we have brought these tools back to school and are getting the children to explore more. The Mini Taster allowed our teachers to see what stage other teachers are at, they came back with some great ideas. Mary's goalsetting visit got us all thinking and moving along with something concrete to work with.
 * Lessons**

Where are we headed? We know we are in desperate need of more cameras. We have just received 6 more laptops which is great. We will continue to carry on with what we are doing (hopefully better). We will take little steps on the path towards being more ICT literate. We are getting better at talking about ICT and what we know and what we don't. Getting everyone onboard and moving forward is our priority. We will continue to showcase work and have the opportunity to go to more ICT PD. We are looking forward, knowing where we have come from.

Our schools engage and seek ideas from our communities about the ways in which e-learning improves outcomes for students

The school web site is still under development. We have a blogspot for the time being. With every report to the BOT there is a blurb about ICT During 3 Way conferences Kea class use ICT to show their inquiry learning to their parents/caregivers in the form of PPT
 * Lessons**

We are still in the process of getting our community on board with ICT. Most seem interested and are willing to help out when they can. The parents/caregivers spoken to are looking forward to a school web site. This however will be an issue for many as due to their location many are unable to access broadband or the internet. We have an open door policy which means they are able to come to school and view their child/ren's work online. The BOT are very supportive and have agreed to 6 more laptops which are all up and running. Using ICT to present 3 Way conferences was a change to the norm and parents/caregivers enjoyed seeing what the children had been doing. We a going to hold a parent/caregiver evening once the web site is up and running.
 * Next Steps**

Excerpt from Principal's Report to the BOT - April 2010 We need to lease some more laptops for student use. At the moment we are leasing 6 laptops. As you are aware, we are not fixing the computers in the library and they are nearing their demise. Now that we are becoming more involved with ICT we need some more student laptops urgently. As our Professional Development component of ICT is covered for the next three years by the ManTar Cluster, I would like to target some of the ICT money in our budget towards leasing another 6 laptops and would like the authority to do so.
