  • What other authentic context opportunities are there for integrating Digital Technologies?
  • Is there a need for additional professional development around the Digital Technologies Progress Outcomes?

+ Local curriculum development

• Consider the following questions:
  • How do we create learing accross our Kahui Ako?
  • How do we integrate the digital technologies curriculum content so that it will be of most benefit for all our learners?
  • How do we balance benefits for learners against disruption, trade-offs, and compromises?
  • How will we cover the relevant progress outcomes through our integrated or no intergrated approach?
  • How will our learners make annual progress? How will they/ we know?
  • How might our approach change as expertise increases over the next few years?
  • What will our next steps be?

+ Learning Goals

• A model for change - Where are we at? and how do we move forward?

• Mapping out some goals - Brainstorming Activity

• Highlight your priorities: what aspects are most critical to success?

• Refining what the purpose of the schools professional learning should be. The purpose should be as specific as possible - so for example: “Understand and try out activities for CT PO5” is a more specific scope than “Look at the CT PO’s”, which in turn is more specific than “Understand the PO’s” ACTION: Try a Boulder Pebble Sand exercise with one of your learning goals.
