MIDWINTER PARTY A SUCCESS




Technology on Tap


Just a note to say that our scheduled MIDWINTER PARTY was attended by the entire Charles Howitt staff (save three teachers).


It featured good food, beverages and the opportunity to visit four presentation centres to see examples of student learning, using Photo Story, Glogster, Moodle, and Bitstrips along with various Smartboard applications. No formal presentations were shown because staff were encouraged to simply display student samples and speak to their experience within the Teacher Learning and Leadership model.

Our success was, I think, due to the fact that teachers plotted their own on site professional development which was offered during the school day. My thanks to ETFO, the Ministry, our Technology teacher (Alex Macris) along with all those teachers involved for supporting purposeful teacher directed learning.
