 * **Lead teachers and staff generally feel supported in their use of e-learning.**

__**Evidence: **__ [|2011 St Josephs Paeroa School Vision and Action Plan.doc] __**Classroom computers**__

Each of the three classrooms have acquired at least 4 PC computers that are permanently in the classes to use, plus the teachers laptop if necessary. This was possible with the purchase of more computers for the ICT suite. Having accessibility within the class enables the students to access information or complete tasks without leaving the classroom. It has been great for inquiry learning and we have been able to do more of this. Assisted students engagement: This has enabled students to access the computers without having to wait if the computer suite is being used. Students can complete set tasks then move on to e-learning tasks independently. Students will become self-reliant and independant within the classroom setting. Students will show initiative and take responsibility for teaching others within the classroom setting. Look at the budget for next year and put money into the development of e-learning in our school.

 * __Where to next?__ **

Our school has volunteered to host a digital workshop day, and two professional development days with positive results for both students and staff. Staff have also attended after school workshops and sharing afternoons. Staff gain knowledge and increase confidence in using both technological and thinking tools that is impacting on student learning. The digital camera is being used nearly everyday for a variety of learning tasks, both inside and outside the classroom. e.g. An experiment with colour was documented at varying stages.
