PAINT ( technology project- Mechanisms) Children make picutres in PAINT, attach to card, then these are inserted into a class pop up book using split pins - this way the children can move their objects arround within the book Nathalie will take video and add to her blog which can be accessed through the wiki

Nikki uses [|www.spellingcity.com] as part of her her reading rotation at school Individual group lists can be entered by the teacher Lists from other teachers there for anyone to access as well Children can also access at hiome through the class blog Children who dont have interent access at home have priority use at school before the bell

Children have been taking photos of their science experiments These get placed inot kidpix then children have added labels/ diagrams etc Children draw picutres in kid pix then place them onto a background and add dialogue Hint: give children a time allowance to help them learn to manage themselves

Viewed photos show from our e-tour - to be stroed on the cluster wiki Discussed reflections/ where to next after observations hint-dont store all work on computers alone as it is not always the easiest to see qucikly
 * __e-tour reflections__**
 * e-leaders noted that Point England had lots of work displayed for on walls etc-
 * rubrics for chilsdren to view were alos displayed in each classroom

At PT England- all teachers are expected to be users of ICT to meet needs of school and classroom programmes

Each school analysed their results form the following questions and placed analysis and where to next on the cluster wiki A cluster wide reflection was done by the facilitator and project director · Q1 : ICT/elearning - Classroom practice · Q 3 Confidence about the use of ICT (personal and within classroom) · Q5 Use of digital tools in the classroom teaching programme · Q2 :ICT frequency and capability
 * __Baseline Survey Analysis__**

Discussion on the results from these questions · What did each school find? · Where there any common trends? · How are each school addressing the identified needs? (view school timetables/ intensives/ workshops on wiki)

 It was decided that in future each school will do these reflections outside of e-leaders workshops The new list of questions to be analysed will be emailed after each session Discussion about the findings and next steps will take place at the e-leaders workshop * Schools could check out "grants" for funding for digital cameras/ video cameras

__**School tour of Papatoetoe Central**__ Area of focus - "How is e-learning taking place in classrooms / ICT suite?" What is working well/ challenging?

**__Review of cluster 1st year goals __**( blue sheets) What areas do we need to focus on now?

**//Community Consultation Awareness of e-learning (see National goal pg 13 / first year goal pg 20) //** What is/will each school do to enhance community awareness of e-learning? Sharing of ideas/plans e-leaders felt it should discussed at next CLT Possible survey (Survey Monkey) and hard copy so parents have choice Term 4 week 3 Keep it simple with comments to select from

**//Developing a cluster “e-learning toolbox” //** What categories do we want in the toolbox? eg thinking tools, web 2 tools, questioning tools, graphic organizer s

e-leaders and teacher encouraged to contribute 
 * __Future e-leader workshops __**

Stephen will put an area on the wiki for e-leaders to identify what they would like to share with others or would like to learn about ( “e-leaders workshop ideas”) Small groups could then work for a session on learning new skills/ programmes eg green screen/ movie making/ animation/ kid pix/ blogs/ social bookmarking
 * Decided to alternate e-leader sharing sessions and hands on workshops
