ICT Pioneers - the quest continues

Our ICT Pioneers engaged in another afternoon of training yesterday, getting to grips with some of the more common software we are using on our IPADs. The training certainly equipped them to support their individual classes, giving them the knowledge and confidence to trouble shoot, advise and even point the class teacher in the right direction!

It has been great to see the different ways in which this technology is being used to support and enhance learning in the classroom and we are looking to build on this over the coming weeks by expanding the range of APPs that we are using.

This initiative has certainly been well received and I even understand that some of their skills are being cascaded to other family members as well.

We will be continuing this training for another three weeks and then will be offering the opportunity to different children as well as rolling this out to year 3.
