21. The Impact of our Journey • Staff gained confidence in ICT, whilst the project gave others time to focus on children’s needs. • Staff learnt from each other and used each others skills and experiences. • Staff had shared aims and worked together as a team to have a successful outcome. • The effective use of ICT equipment is now embedded in the planning to insure it has a purpose • Through documenting the children’s progress in the outdoor environment, the teachers and parents have become partners in the children’s learning • Children have gained confidence especially in Communication, Language and Literacy and the use of ICT equipment. However, it has had an impact across all the areas
