BIG QUESTION : How will we support our students to become active, successful and reflective learners within a technology rich environment?

SUCCESS INDICATORS: Students make informed choices about the use of technology

in their learning. Opportunities provided for student led inquiry into the use of

technology within the classroom. Teachers include students in the planning and decision making

processes within the classroom. Teachers demonstrate the use of a wider range of technologies

in their own learning and teaching. Teachers articulate their own personal learnings about the

integration of ICT into their teaching practice.
