What further support do you need to engage the community in developing a school curriculum?

Terry Freedman has an ebook out, Web 2.0 projects. This gives some great ideas for classroom teachers to use. I have attached a copy of this at the bottom of this page. He has put these into the different age levels with the web sites for you to have a look at.

Some schools have created an online survey for students, across a cluster. They will use the results to decide on next steps for their individual schools and for the growth of learners across the cluster.

In the current climate of sustainable use of just about everything, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss issues of sustainable ICT use in learning centres. How are we using ICT sustainably? What are the considerations for sustainable ICT use? Are there any other issues? For the purposes of this thread I consider learnng centres as anywhere outside the home that people go to learn. For example, early childhood centres right through to tertiary level. Are there things we can learn from each other?

One really useful strategy that I have used many times to force community into engagement with the very challenging ideas that unpin the new curriculum is the use of significant experts to build capacity. At Island Bay we have invited (and paid for) Dr John Edwards, Dr Jane Gilbert, Mary Chamberlain, Kath Murdoch to present to our community. The impact of these folk has been enormous in that they build a constituency for change after a 1 or 2 hour presentation. Building this within a community can often take years as parents and teachers grapple with the nostalgia held for their own schooling experiences as opposed to the unknown as represented by the future. I know in talking to parents that there is much appreciation for the investment the school has made in acquiring significant educators and future thinkers to illuminate the shift between the 20th and 21st century paradigms.

The budget delivered us some money for ICT tools in our schools - the scary thing is that while we are all busy plotting and scheming as to how we can get adequate ICT equipment in front of our kids the nature of ICT is changing rapidly. It is no longer about making movies and searching the internet but about collaboration and connection in web environments that are radically changing the way we operate within the digital world. How do we keep up?

"Want, the mistress of invention."
(Susannah Centlivre) I can tell you I want a laptop that has solar panels to charge it - it really would be a portable laptop then. I invite you to share your ideas for what you'd like to see as future ICT inventions

There may be many barriers to ICT use in schools. For example, time to become familiar with ICT; lack of ICT resources or no collective school vision of ICT use to name a few. What are the barriers to ICT use in schools that you have encountered, and how were they overcome? Can you forsee any future barriers not yet encountered?

One EHSAS cluster has recently developed an online survey for teachers, students and parents. They used survey monkey to publish the survey. This is a free tool and because it is online, results can be quickly collated to get to the 'so what'. Teachers are looking at their own class survey results and developing goals from this. By collaborating across the cluster schools will be able to share strengths and develop some common strategies for improvement.
