 * Waihi East **

Waihi East School teachers are including the use of IT in their planning and in their sharing of student progress through the students Yearbooks, where samples of student work are included featuring the use of an IT tool regularly to assist in pupils learning i.e. posters reflecting learning around a topic using ‘Comic Life’ software. Teachers have increased the use of literacy and numeracy based websites in the classroom to support learning activities for these areas e.g Tumblebooks, Studyladder and MOE Digital Learning Objects. As part of our appraisal and self reflection process teachers are expected to set goals and take steps toward implementing the use of ICT in he classroom e.g. all staff can use their projector / sound system to share songs or other digital content with their class, teachers use their class camera regularly to document learning activities, teachers are updating their class web page at least once a term and often use images from their class camera to enhance their class page. Our teachers use the Assessment For Learning model and the Habits of Mind as the core components in out learning / thinking methodology, but use of webs, mind maps and thinking hats are used by many staff as a part of their teaching tool box. As a school we are going to take steps to develop our skill in using the Inquiry Learning process over the next 12 months (2012). The Key Competencies are linked with increasing confidence to ICT activities by teachers as many ICT activities promote the competencies.
