We looked at how we use ICT now and how we might use it in the future to improve student outcomes in Reading.
KEY FOCUS
Our key focuses were to
- explore the available ICT products available within our own system and beyond (learning objects and 'Storybox' resources were included)
- set up some sort of 'folder' , accessible to all, that lists useful websites etc
- work out ways to use the available tools effectively-working out logistics and practicalities
STRATEGIES
Our strategies will be to
- have a weekly focus each week – Looking at ICT resources etc in areas such as phonics, comprehension, vocab and skills of the future
- Sharing with grade partners
- Setting up simple instruction sheets to help with the logistics of using laptops etc with classes for reading
INDICATORS OF SUCCESS
- Beginning of a framework of resources
- ICT being used more during reading instruction
- Establishment of workable processes that help us determine what is being used, what is useful and what is not!

I think we've made a start with collecting and organsing web resources- with our del.icio.us links on the right. I'd like to know what people's thoughts/ experiences are in terms of using this del.icio.us account. Please comment on what you think.

Thanks for the input this afternoon about del.icio.us. I have a much better understanding of how to use this now. I have learnt my lesson after having my computer crash to ensure that I put my favourites to my account. I still need to figure out how I can create a wider network. Just need some time to fiddle!
