TERM TWO
8 June 2010

This term we have worked on the development of e-learning policies which have been approved by the BOT. Classes have used the pocket video cams we brought in Rotorua for recording class speeches. Classes are beginning to set up class wikis. With our new server it has been easier for pupils to access the school's intranet. Pupils have been using powerpoints,photostory and YouTube as part of their pathway units.

Thomas at Buckland showed me his Sentry Robot that he built out of his LEGO NXT kit. He recounted how it took him "literally hours to program the robot." He had to teach himself how to build routines and decision trees to get the robot to work. He has shown tremendous resilience in creating this robot. Perhaps now he should adapt his design from attack to surveillance by adapting the firing mechanism to trigger a digital camera.

Term 3
Evidence of students becoming independent users of the technology in a classroom at Buckland Most of the senior classes have children that are experts. When problems arise in a class these experts are the first port of call for the pupils. The experts are also available to help in different rooms.



Term4 ICT is an important part of our Pathway programme. Pupils are set inquiry tasks based on aspects of the topic.By doing this greater indept learning takes place.Last term our topic of Buckland's History pupils found out about Buckland's past and are putting information on Historypin.
