What do the staff at my school need?

Staff at my school need tools. I think they are genuinely interested in using ICT, but lack the tools....both physical and Web 2.0.

Each classroom has a SmartBoard, which are well used, I think, but we severely lack computer access. We have 30 laptops, but they are old, many with missing keys, and with NO internet access at present. Each classroom has at least 2 computers, but many are not working at all, or are very old and using old software.

To address the aspect I have some influence over, I have sessions booked in two staff meetings each term to show the staff some Web 2.0 tools they can use easily in their rooms, given our limited physical resources.

At the staff meeting this week, I'll be showing them Glogster and Blabberize.

[|Glogster]- make online digital posters

[|Blabberize] - make a picture "talk", great for presenting reports, or other oral information

My targets

Naomi - Twitter Set up 2 twitters accounts, one for each of our classes, follow each other and put security to max. Have twitter open all day and use it to communicate with each other about what we're doing and learning.

Nicole - Google Maps Show her how to put markers on a map and record questions. Get Year 6 to make one for my class.
