How has ICT been used in our school?
ICT has really changed the whole out look of our school. From the decisions around budgetting at Board level, fund allocation of curriculum budgets, Maintainence and support for the ICT infrastructure and the need to have technology always accessable for our students. The headaches have been worth it. As staff have been able to embark on a unified professional development journey that has lifted both teacher delivery and student learning. IWB's are an every day feature in classroom programmes. Students from Y0 to Y8 are competent users of technology and now have access information, software, global communities and the means to direct their own learning.
The benefits to our school?
Improved teacher capabilities.
Information sharing
Unified planning and assessment procedures
Collation and storage data
Confident students who are risk takers and have a belief that the world is at their finger-tips
A community of learners that has unitied our school to other schools in our community.

I agree the ICT cluster contract we have been apart of for the past 3 years has been hugely beneficial to all. I like your point about students being able to direct their own learning, this is where learning is heading and ICT is key to that transformation. Its nice to see all the benefits too.
