OPS+Feedback+on+ways+to+improve+PD+Sessions

In what ways could the ICT Professional Development programme be improved? · alright as it is || · Continue with the practical sessions/tutorials during school time || · Continue as before, so we all get to practice the skills before we try in the classroom with the children || · Allowing everyone access to resources that they would use in their programmes || · -more PD || · We have a very supportive school with many staff providing support. || · Further teacher professional development liked to he curriculum and year level. || · Going over areas of need. || · Excellent so far more time trailing new software and when taught new skills, I need to have more follow sessions, to answer questions, check what we are doing right wrong and get it solidly established || · providing continuous training and repetition sessions on some programmes. · Dedicated training sessions during school opening times and not after school whereby most teachers are tired and restless after teaching all day. || · More integration into the daily classroom programme to allow for regular practise of new skills. || · I would like to see time being available for practice of each item. || · Kirsty does an awesome job. I don't feel with the time restraint we have it could be improved || · Don't know because I haven't seen any of it || · Provide activities that are more suitable for Junior children to complete. They need less teacher intensive activities that after initial teaching they can use independently || · clear easy to read notes provided || · More practise in things we can actually implement in the classroom. Learning it once is not enough to teach it yourself. || · Perhaps group staff according to ability would prevent more able having to go slow and less able becoming frustrated. || · provide a list of skills that we should be proficient in and provide the training to enable us to achieve the list || · More hands on stuff that can be used with 5 year olds without too much teacher time and so it can be done as a learning centre || · Using more relevant programmes for juniors - such as processing, keyboard skills, working out how folders work, saving and retrieving documents. || · No comment || · More programmes to use in the class. || · I teach juniors and while we are always given great examples of how we could use the PD with juniors, it seems that most of the work is still done by the Teacher. I would like to get some PD in programs that younger students could use mostly independently once originally taught. || · More classroom computers to fully utilise || · Have not been involved often enough to comment. ||
