This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: ICT Vision minutes, we should be careful. if we are going to become a laptop school it is important that students continue to master the art of reading and writing. they should not become dependant on tech and lose the skills. TW the difference between paper and paperless schools is how the tech is being used to enhance learning., DW: should there be direct reference to the existing Info Lit Policy? TS points in the Vision do connect with the Info Lit Policy., 241 PCs up for replacement in 15 months. we are a school which will move ahead if the body driving the change is clear about what they want. ST the biggest factor is teachers needing time to become comfortable with laptops., we want laptops now. students are bringing in their own tech to support their learning and making progress as a result. if we are going to provide laptops, then we need to make a decision now. TF 241 PCs up for replacement in 15 months. we are a school which will move ahead if the body driving the change is clear about what they want., this is a staffing issue. teachers already work a long day; the process is constant as we want to do everything well. TP as knowledge is more freely available we have to ensure we move things along., the difference between paper and paperless schools is how the tech is being used to enhance learning. TF it is also about the rich discourse which follows., DW: should there be direct reference to the existing Info Lit Policy? TW redraft the Vision to clearly mention the Info Lit Policy., JC: how are we recycling our redundant machines? are we responsible? ST yes, we donate those which still have life and break the dead ones down into the component parts., TW: What is the link between ICT and Info Literacy? why should any of the above be implelemted? what is the rationale? JC this is a staffing issue. teachers already work a long day; the process is constant as we want to do everything well., redraft the Vision to clearly mention the Info Lit Policy. TS the redrafted Vision will be posted on MoonGate. demonstrates where. we can all sign the document out, edit it, then post it back to me. I would like to use this as a place to keep each other posted and up-to-speed outside of scheduled meetings., in terms of numbers we can be flexible. TW suppose we went to the board and proposed that they fund laptops for either all teachers or all students?, the look and feel of this document should be light and contemporary. the supportive nature of tech should reflect a new dimension of accessibility, and support for teaching and learning. TW access to available tech is key. do not tie resourcing down to a specific tech in a vision as it is not the place., TW: What is the link between ICT and Info Literacy? why should any of the above be implelemted? what is the rationale? AJ if this is a vision into action plan, what is the timeline? we should think about changing some of the language to make it more suggestive and example-driven., TW: What is the link between ICT and Info Literacy? why should any of the above be implelemted? what is the rationale? JC there are two important people missing from this committee. there should be a teacher rep from primary and one from secondary. teachers are overloaded and need to be aware of what is coming., the redrafted Vision will be posted on MoonGate. demonstrates where. we can all sign the document out, edit it, then post it back to me. I would like to use this as a place to keep each other posted and up-to-speed outside of scheduled meetings. TW we need to establish a few norms. this should not be a place to vent and posts must keep to the point., DW: should there be direct reference to the existing Info Lit Policy? AJ there should be one page of vision, the rest should be an action plan., there are teachers who are ready now and others who will never be ready but there are students waiting for this. of course it needs to be spread out but this should not necessarily be a limit to the roll-out. ST in terms of numbers we can be flexible., ICT Vision into Action draft document structure of draft definition of ICT, uses of ICT, suggested activities, tech support, why should we consider going with Apple? this is not a cost issue. AJ it is about the support and what it provides access to - Apple offer much more than Windows for primary. secondary have a year to make the decision about platform - primary need to make it now., we can be a Win PC school with access to Mac resources TP i am hearing from a considerable number of people whom i respect, of the educational value of Macs and this is certainly influencing my thinking.
