Creating Change in ICT understanding and use using Professional Learning Resources at Ruyton Girls School -2009
Two Drivers for Change
• Our students responded to a general questionnaire put out by the Ruyton Student Council. They noted that the staff in general did not have the level of expertise in the use of ICT that they would like.
• As a laptop school we saw the need for staff to move into a greater understanding and knowledge about Web 2.0.
Intended goals / outcomes
• Students would be introduced to new ways of operating in a digital world using Web 2.0
• Staff would evaluate software, programs and applications for inclusion in the curriculum
• Mid-career staff would receive management experience through the oversight of professional learning Teams
• Change requirements would be indentified for inclusion in the 2010 Operational Plan
• Staff would be excited by the potential for change in pedagogy
• Staff would have an understanding of the potential of social networking
Staff nominated to join Professional Learning Teams (PLT) in the following: –
Use of tablet computers and OneNote
Use of interactive White Boards
Web 2.0 – using blogs, wikis and nings
Using Moodle
e-learning and the global classroom
cybersafety
Additionally the Australian Government Quality Teacher Program were trained in management skills in order to each run a PLT
Use of Online / Web 2 resources & tools
We used blogs and wikis and nings extensively. The most useful of these has been nings. Use of Delicious and other RSS feeds has also been investigated and used.
Anecdotes from Design / Implementation
One of the key issues that developed through the process was the lack of expertise in the area of Web 2.0 application and the relative low level of understanding and use of social networking in our staff. Our QTP staff tried to manage the learning of the group but without expert help they were frustrated. We certainly learnt that to achieve wholesale change you have to have the experts in abundance to support adult learners both outside and inside the classroom. The impact of the specialist researcher was good but we need to follow up with an extensive program which identifies a need in the classroom and then provides support over a whole term or semester to achieve outcomes.
Final Reflection
We learnt that, as a school, we needed far more support in the classroom as well as individual ICT training. This was communicated to the principal. Through changes in staffing, this need has been substantially addressed for 2010. Staff will be able to develop their ideas knowing that there is ‘just in time’ support and that they can use the support over a number of consecutive lessons rather than waiting for the next fortnightly lesson. The impact of an outstanding classroom practitioner was also noted. Andrew Douch from Wanganui Park Secondary College gave a presentation on a Staff Day at the beginning of Term 4. His dedicated approach to his craft and his use of technology were inspiring. As well he conveyed practical tips for improved student learning using Web 2.0 technologies
