I'm not in this alone...
What is needed...
This is no no one woman show. The success of ICT integration in our school is dependent on all of us. We need to be willing to explore new ideas and be open to changing up the way we do things. There will be successes and possible failures along the way. That's all part of change. If we work together and adopt a positive mindset, we stand a much better chance of introducing our students to new methods of creating and collaborating using technology meaningfully in our classrooms.
Where can you find me?
My office is in the Senior School Library, in the room that formerly housed the MAC computers. My door is always open. Come in and have a chat about your technology plans for either yourself, your faculty or year level. I'm here to help.
