ICWC school tour

Last week we went on a tour of a few of our cluster schools.

All the school's have made great strides in setting up their ICT infrastructure, integrating ICTs into their curriculums and developing their own inquiry processes.

Features of note:

• Foxton school's thin-clients
  
• Koputoroa's inquiry model based on the kereru. It was also clear that they have worked hard to include all staff members in the development of the process

Looking at how these schools are developing it is encouraging to know we are on track and compare favourably...

We are having a debate about whether to get a couple of Apple Macs as most of the other schools have. We are arguing from ignorance- none of us have much experience with Apples!! So we are planning to get a couple as a trial...
