What positives have we witnessed…?

- increased creativity - increased engagement- increased collaboration- increased independence - mobile learning opportunities- individualised learning opportunities- greater personalisation & ownership- differentiation of content delivery- 24/7 access to learning…resources,

tasks, tools, etc..- networked learning between home and

school- the publishing of work for greater

audiences - the effective use of social media to

benefit learning

And what challenges…?

- damaged devices, both BYOD and College owned- inappropriate device misuse- classroom management in a 1:1 environment - best

practice/s? - costs for repair / replacement; to both College and

families- ongoing effective integration - the development of a whole college eLearning culture- audio visual equipment allocation and use- lack of devices in specific areas/cohorts

Future Strategy…

Strategy Development Questions

• What technology are we wanting our students to have access to, in all year levels? 1:1?

Mobile Technology? Laptops? Specialised Labs?

• Which model of technology integration will best suit our needs and wants? And in what

cohorts?College Owned, BYOD, Co-Contribution? What will the financing of this look

like?

• How will the technology available be used to re-shape and enhance teaching and

learning practices?

• What further technical support and infrastructure and will be required?

• What other, if any, technologies will be required to support student and teacher

devices. Classroom A/V, IWB’s, LED’s, Apple TV’s, 3D Printers, etc…

The BIG question…

At the conclusion of 2017, what skills, tools and

devices do we want our students to have

mastered to prepare them for life long learning?

Questions from the FLOOR?

Time for action

- In small groups and working together, answer each question as best you and your group can.

- After the allocated time, move from table to table attempting to add to each previous groups responses.

Time for reflection

Thoughts, comments, other…

Where to from here?

College ICT Committee will meet and complete a first draft of a 2015 - 2017 eLearning Strategy. This will be shared with all invited attendees for feedback and review.

Thank You!
