  6. ERO Report 2005 • Interactive Education • The New Zealand Digital Horizons Policy • Digital Horizon Policy declared; • ‘all learners will use ICT confidently and creatively to help develop the skills and knowledge they need to achieve personal goals and to be full participants in the global community.’

  7. ERO Report 2005 ‘flexible learning using ICT resources, tools and applications, and focussing on interactions among teachers, learners and the on-line environment. E-Learning usually refers to structured and managed learning experiences.’ (ERO, 2005 p3) Students teachers administration strategic partnerships (ERO, 2005 p4)

  8. ERO 2000 / 2001 • failed to properly integrate this plan into the curriculum • not identify how ICT had improved teaching and learning • (2000) • significant gains made by schools in providing access to equipment • Teachers using ICT in classroom delivery • (2001)

  9. ERO Report 2005 • Promotion • Engagement • equitable access • positive outcomes • challenges in implementation of e-learning

  10. Good Practice • 1. Vision and direction for e-learning • 2. ICT was being used to underpin learning throughout schools • 3. Professional development was taking place • 4. Integration was occurring • 5. Incorporation of e-learning proved self motivating • 6. Equitable access was occurring • 7. Infrastructures to support e-learning was being established.

  11. Areas of concern • Poor communication of strategic planning of e-learning to teachers by management • Links between the school vision and classroom practice not always evident • ICT being used to occupy students rather than to support learning • Students not being taught appropriate skills in regards to e-learning • Poor equipment and lack of adequate skills is a disincentive for teachers and students • On-going technical support needed • Libraries not supporting e-learning.

  12. ‘ICT Professional Development Cluster Initiative has had a considerable impact on most of the contributing schools.’ (ERO, 2005 p19) • integrating ICT and implementing e-learning strategies to students • appropriate knowledge and skills to impact on learning and teaching in the classroom • superior infrastructure to support the e-learning environment in schools.

  13. ‘teachers in cluster schools were more likely to have gained the knowledge and skills to integrate e-learning into the school curriculum and classroom programmes to improve teaching and learning.’ (ERO, 2005 p17) ‘By the end of the programme, over four fifths (84%) of teachers stated they had become either ‘confident’ or ‘very confident’ about their personal use of ICTs.’ (Sahin & Ham, 2010 p14)

  14. How far have teachers and students progressed? • improved ICT skills • access to hardware • ICT rich environments • ICT tools; working on-line, teleconferencing tools, emailing, faxing, skype, etc… Difficulties • internet can prove to be tenuous • fibre optic capabilities As technology evolves so does our need to keep our teachers and students up to speed in ICT capacity.

  15. ‘let’s help them (students) learn about the effects of these tools on them and on society so they can make informed choices about technology.’ (De Witt & Horn, 2005 p7) • Is it the job of the 21st Century educator to do what De Witt states or immerse them in ever evolving technologies? • ‘a narrow skills-based training for ICT in employment should not be one of the aims of education- • -employers do not want it, usually asking for a positive attitude alongside general abilities and awareness, rather than specific skill requirements.’ (Wellington, 2005 p30)

  16. ‘Information technology (IT) is changing so rapidly that it boggles the mind and overwhelms the ability of most educators to keep up.’ (Lloyd, 2008 p19) ‘It needs to be about communicating and collaborating and using the medium in ways which create genuinely new learning environments.’ (Lloyd, 2005 p5)
