 * ==**Goal 1:**==

**Students to become successful digital citizens**
|| ==**Goal 1:**==

**//Akona are using e-learning and SOLO Taxonomies to support and enhance their achievement.//**
||
 * =Junior: =

The Junior team are making effective use of the computer suite and information library - they access websites to support and enhance their learning and everyday experiences. They are infusing the Key Competencies to become independent self managing and contributing citizens. The library is using a "Website of the Week" board to hook both teachers and learnings in to authentic and 'proven' web resources.
 * **Example of ICT learning experiences from one Junior Classroom:**
 * Music Appreciation** (Peter and the Wolf) - Using a variety of media to compare and contrast e.g. Video (Music/Narration) to enhance the classroom programme and learning. Dance component (Royal Ballet), see below.

Peter and the Wolf [] Royal Ballet []
 * Links:**


 * Gingerbreadman Shared Book** (both Hardcopy and Digital) - Traditional tale to support shared book experiences.


 * Keyboard skills** (Click and Drag) using the Paula’s Pages **Only2clicks site link**


 * Individual classes bookmarking sites that directly relate to students needs and appropriate levels.**

**Example From One Classroom: SOLO**
> == == > Example of HOT Maps used in Junior Classes
 * Learners were exposed to hardcopy book (shared story) then online version (You Tube)
 * Literacy Activities related to book (eg, **Describing** words, **“Explain”** Writing experiences, Define Map)
 * SOLO (HOT TOOLS - Graham Watts) **sequencing** of Little Red Riding Hood
 * SOLO used to explore "Truthful and Untruthful" "Honesty and Truthfulness" in relation to the story.
 * **Retell** of the story in their own words
 * Quality of writing improved dramatically after the immersion in the process
 * ==**Science Unit** (Self Assessments against SOLO) Forces and Motion in ALL classes==

ICT was used to publish writing about Butterflies


 * Junior Trip to Hamilton Zoo -** Teacher and students used ICT (Digital Camera) to record experiences that could later be infused throughout the classroom programme.

One teacher chose to create and display children's work using "Photo Books" (perfect size for littlies hands!) with photo's the students and teacher had taken - then they wrote about and published their thoughts and reflections.



=Senior: =

For Example: Mammals
 * Independent Research Projects** (learners share with other useful sites they find)


 * Camp:** Took photo’s (Year 4/5 and 6) and Video (Year 6) of all of the activities (in Auckland) used photo’s to support their literacy lessons eg Retell.

A variety of ICT tools were used to record the Senior Camp experiences such as Power Point, Shape Collage and Wordle. Using Powerpoint and Keynote (Experimenting with adding voice and sound, new learning for both teachers and students)

Students used the Web 2.0 Tool - WORDLE to describe their camp experience

Compare and Contrast Video’s -Matariki, one version from “Gods” perspective and the other “Stars” - Teachers accessing You Tube.

 * ==**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.//**
|| =**Principal's Reflection**= We have continued to focus on the integration of ICT into teaching and learning programmes across the school. A group of students are working with the ICT Manager at lunchtimes, developing their research and ICT skills so that they can then 'teach' other students and staff. We have increased our pod of ipads to six and these are available to all students in the library. In order to maintain our infrastructure, a new UPS was also purchased. We are currently holding professional development sessions on e-asTTle for staff and also plan to expand our use of the Learning Management System and introduce individual student learning portfolios. These will be able to be accessed by parents who visit the school as well as those who have internet access in their homes.
