The photo editing tool allowed children to demonstrate what they know. The completed work was also put on to the children's portfolio page in Ultranet to show others and to act as a reference point.

Children use a sequence map to recount their stories and then assess against a Hot Sequence Rubric, helping to identify next steps

Children are using **Ultranet** to access homework. Below is a screen shot of a middle school homework task on Ultranet. One class using **e-portfolios** for reporting to parents. All children in the class upskilling as a result of having to photograph, upload, hyperlink etc. During Term 2 children are learning how to give feedback to one another in their e-portfolios. Here a parent feedsback, child responds, then (middle comment) a class buddy gives feedback.
 * **Goal 2:**
 * Principals to lead the integration of e-learning in their schools (strategic and operational)** || **Goal 2:**
 * //Principals will coordinate the development of e-learning for ALL Akona.//** ||
 * **Evidence:**

As part of the goal of principals modelling IT use for learning at Otonga, I have shared school-wide data to inform strategic planning and goal setting that guide budgets and Teacher Inquiry. My leadership in infrastructure to align with those goals has been to ensure a consistent hardware and software platform with shared expectations, supported by appropriate PD, across the school. The budget for PD allows for all staff to have release to view good practice across the school and cluster, and to get training on the range of new IT tools that have been purchased. I have been closely involved with the development of school PD to unpack Tātaiako.
