      Update

      1. What have you achieved so far? A better understanding of what we have to do. After a delayed start, this will now work for us, we have had our first classroom visit
      2. How do you need to adjust your plan? The plan was based on too little information. Now that we have a better understanding of what we are looking for, we can create a better vehicle to move forward. We needed to simplify the plan - we were doing too much. We need to be more specific with the outcomes that we are looking for. We are looking at two groups: that have chosen not to use technology and those who have chosen to use the technology to achieve the same task.
      3. Are the existing roles working? So far, early days yet.
      4. How well has your team communicated? Very well, now that we are underway.
      5. What needs to be done to move forward? Take on board changes made, implement these changes and start collecting data.

      Nice to get underway after a somewhat sluggish start. It will be good to look at our stated plan and to see how it morphs over time. Amanda. Sam and I have planned to have 11 contact periods over the next month or so, avoiding exams and holidays. We have also looked at expanding the experience to include some literacy using a unit on poetry as a vehicle.

      This allows for cross curricula comparison with the students' engagement. - Ian
