Each teacher filled in a feedback reflection from this conference: Some key messages made were [|Room 4] [|Room 3] [|Room 5] New sites used eg [|Questions] [|Brainstorming] [|Room 9] [|Room 10] and seek ideas from our communities about the ways in which e- learning improves outcomes for students
 * Effective practice workshops
 * Professional conversations/shared language
 * Quality Learning Circles/concept maps
 * Mantar wiki will be used as a forum for discussion,
 * 1) **Jane Gilbert -** Students should know 'what to do when they don't know what to do'. Students should be developing new knowledge through read never before discovered research and Explanaton as to how the meaning of Knowledge and society/education has changed and so how/why ICT is so much part of knowledge, society and education now.
 * 2) **Ally Bull -** Inquiry learning - does it make the students have to really think? Is what we are teaching really new knowledge? What do students do with what they have learn't - the 'so what'?
 * 3) **Jan Watts** - To keep inquiry simple and have all children participating when and wherever possible. Confirmed the importance of Inquiry, starting off by establishing childrens knowledge and finishing with drawing conclusions.
 * 4) **Mary Rivers -** To use Macro on camera to enhance images. The use of digital photography throughout units of learning. The elements of a good photo and consider the perspective and how can you manipulate the setting? eg Place a leaf
 * 5) **Nick Rate -** Clarifications as to difference between: Web 1.O and Web 2.O tools, blogs, wikis. The benefits of blogs and the issues. That web 2.O tools allow for reading, contributing, participating and collaborating so there is "collective intelligence". ||= **Jane Gilbert -** Room 3 Inquiry wall - Triangular validation sheet in student's book.

 * Jan Watts -** that all students should be participating when and wherever possible, sorting brainstorming into groups and formulating questions from these.
 * Mary Rivers -** Refer to progress
 * Nick Rate -** New web 2.0 tools to try, Google Custom link, use images from compfight.com, all classes are now following each others blogs. || **Jane Gilbert -** Thinking journals (Michael Pohl),
 * Ally Bull - try not to use the word 'work' when giving feedback - rather use the word 'learning', plan things for students to do at the end of an inquiry with what they have learnt. **
 * Jan Watts -** Useful websites will be used during inquiry,
 * Mary Rivers - Class displays of photos with learning intentions evident, using photos to display using Web 2.0 tools, plan to use photography throughout inquiry unit when they are investigating etc. **

A parent letter will be sent out to support them in following their own childs blog.

Weekly release is used to support teachers. Lead teachers support teachers on a one-to-one base. Teaches fill in an individual action plan and reflect on their progress.

Fortnightly emails are sent to all members of the staff to keep them up to date with new elearning tools, resources and practical ideas to use within their class programme. ||=

|| Ongoing support from Lead teachers has a positive responds and evidence of this progress can be seen in the above class blogs. || Continue on with the PD on using elearning/web 2.0 applications and how to integrate these into our class programme. ||
