Nigel+-+Korokoro

This is your space to introduce yourself and say what are your goals for using ICT effectively this year. At set points throughout the year, there is an expectation that you will update this page with information on how you're progressing. You might also consider the use of photos and other media to do this with. At the end of the year, we will be asking you to post a presentation to this space about your overall progress throughout this year. This could be easily achieved by making a presentation in Powerpoint/ Keynote and using web 2.0 tools to add it here. I am DP at korokoro School, a father of 2 (4 YO Evelyn and a 2 YO Ashton) I live in Petone and came over to NZ in 1999. I lived in Auckland for almost a year when I arrived and quickly realised my mistake! Iworked for a couple of years at Stokes Valley School teaching maths and ICT, before moving to Korokoro.Here's a quick look at my kids at play! media type="google" key="4849784092462043984&hl=en" width="400" height="326"media type="google" key="8481925445619647469&hl=en" width="400" height="326" I have taught Year 3 through to Year 7&8 and am also the Senior Syndicate leader and Co-Director (with Andrew Bird) of the Cluster.

My goals for ICT thios year are focused on themanagement of ICT across the Cluster and also at school level. I am working on a startegic plan for our school and would like to see schools finish the ICT contract with a sustainable plan for ICT in their schools. In my own classroom I find ICT is THE tool of choice when I need to inspire my kids! As a result I will be getting innovative and hoping to follow some of the childrens ideas and thoughts, for example I have a few skaters in class and they were desperate to film a skate movie. Suzie came up to help, the movie was storyboarded and shot using multiple cameras/angles in an afternoon! It was then edited and set to music. The response from the rest of the school when it was played in assembly was amazing and the final result looked very professional.
