 * **16** || ** Apr 27, 2010 9:07 p.m. ** || 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 ||
 * **17** || ** Apr 27, 2010 9:09 p.m. ** || clear easy to read notes provided ||
 * **18** || ** Apr 27, 2010 9:18 p.m. ** || More practise in things we can actually implement in the classroom. Learning it once is not enough to teach it yourself. ||
 * **19** || ** Apr 27, 2010 9:53 p.m. ** || Prehaps group staff according to ability would prevent more able having to go slow and less able becoming frustrated. ||
 * **20** || ** Apr 27, 2010 9:54 p.m. ** || provide a list of skills that we should be proficient in and provide the training to enable us to achieve the list ||
 * **21** || ** Apr 28, 2010 12:42 a.m. ** || 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 ||
 * **22** || ** Apr 28, 2010 3:44 a.m. ** || Using more relavant programmes for juniors - such as processing, keyboard skills, woking out how folders work, saving and retrieving documents. ||
 * **23** || ** Apr 28, 2010 4:37 a.m. ** || No comment ||
 * **24** || ** Apr 28, 2010 8:13 p.m. ** || More programmes to use in the class. ||
 * **25** || ** Apr 29, 2010 4:21 a.m. ** || 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. ||
 * **26** || ** Apr 29, 2010 4:23 a.m. ** || More classroom computers to fully utilise ||
 * **27** || ** Apr 29, 2010 11:38 p.m. ** || Have not been involved often enough to comment. ||
 * **28** || ** May 3, 2010 1:44 a.m. ** || We need time to try out things and then do it with a small group and no pressure of time and the rest of the class - ICT activities are NOT easy to manage with a whole class! ||
 * **29** || ** May 4, 2010 11:41 p.m. ** || More time allocated during school time, support from managment to help identify and motivate staff to improve themselves. ||
 * **30** || ** May 4, 2010 11:43 p.m. ** || I sometimes struggle with the fact that we get good ideas, but a limitation of resources prevents some ideas from taking flight. ||
 * **31** || ** May 5, 2010 12:33 a.m. ** || Think it works well ||
 * **32** || ** May 5, 2010 12:39 a.m. ** || Get more children to use it properly, ie. within a controlled timeframe so they are actually learning from it. (Not playing games) ||
 * **33** || ** May 5, 2010 2:38 a.m. ** || Pro Dev could only be improved I think if there was more personnel in order to attend to individuals like me who are weak to start with. I think the current system offers a great deal. ||
 * **34** || ** May 5, 2010 3:31 a.m. ** || More hands-on help when we are supposed to do these new things in the classroom! ||
 * **35** || ** May 5, 2010 3:33 a.m. ** || As a new teacher, a way to update me on the schools I.C.T expectations at Howick Primary in regards to what/how to teach the children with support if required. ||
 * **36** || ** May 5, 2010 3:34 a.m. ** || I am happy with what we have so far ||
 * **37** || ** May 5, 2010 3:34 a.m. ** || regular feedback, with notes and possible praticall applications. A regular fortnightly ICT"clinic" where one can trial new ideas with an "expert" on hand to help where required and to further one's skills. One does not know what one does not know! ||
 * **38** || ** May 5, 2010 3:36 a.m. ** || More human resourcing ||
 * **39** || ** May 5, 2010 3:37 a.m. ** || More hands on. Involving everyone. ||
 * **40** || ** May 5, 2010 5:17 a.m. ** || everyone working on the same thing at the same time ||
 * **41** || ** May 5, 2010 9:35 p.m. ** || include practical ideas to help children use technology instaed of fancy ideas that have no real learning value ||
 * **42** || ** May 5, 2010 9:57 p.m. ** || One on one time with ICT support people. ||
 * **43** || ** May 5, 2010 11:13 p.m. ** || lots more money, Smartboards in every classroom with training and ongoing support/technitions ||
 * **44** || ** May 6, 2010 2:32 a.m. ** || held in the mornings rather than afternoons when we are more alert and therefore receptive ||
 * **45** || ** May 6, 2010 2:41 a.m. ** || To have a hard copy of instructions for all computer programmes in the lab, so it is accessible to everyone and in plain language. It is then easy to flick through and you can see what is offered and then implement into the classroom situation. If you are not confident to teach, if there are instructions you are more likely to have a go. Otherwise it becomes just too difficult. ||
 * **46** || ** May 6, 2010 3:20 a.m. ** || Limitations in resources hinders us actually implementing ideas we are given. ||
 * **47** || ** May 6, 2010 3:34 a.m. ** || After-school PD has limited effect - often teachers are tired and more focussed on getting things ready for the next day or worrying about their class. ||
 * **48** || ** May 6, 2010 3:36 a.m. ** || More hands-on practice during the sessions. ||
 * **49** || ** May 6, 2010 3:38 a.m. ** || More 'HANDS ON" activities. ||
 * **50** || ** May 6, 2010 3:45 a.m. ** || Unsure ||
 * **51** || ** May 6, 2010 8:56 p.m. ** || None ||
 * **52** || ** May 6, 2010 8:57 p.m. ** || If we ran a 'beginners' and 'intermediate' PD, it would allow the staff to work at the pace and difficulty that they are more comfortable at. ||
 * **53** || ** May 6, 2010 9:00 p.m. ** || Have easy access to Katrina as needed. ||
 * **54** || ** May 6, 2010 9:04 p.m. ** || It would be helpful if it was a more scaffolded developmental programme - those at the beginnings of their development would feel more supported and those who are more advanced wouldn't be held up or frustrated... ||
 * **55** || ** May 6, 2010 9:06 p.m. ** || I would like it to be run at different levels according to abillity ||
 * **56** || ** May 6, 2010 9:17 p.m. ** || It could become a regular programme whereby we are introduced to ideas, practice and meet to reflect and evaluate. ||
 * **57** || ** May 6, 2010 9:36 p.m. ** || I need to have help to think ICT in my daily programme with the understanding I have only 3 computers operating in my classroom. ||
 * **58** || ** May 6, 2010 10:18 p.m. ** || Access to things I need to use like projector to work with groups. Easy booking system. ||
 * **59** || ** May 6, 2010 11:50 p.m. ** || We need to be able to practise and apply skills while we are learning during programmes. If we do or use the skills that we learnt then we can remember them. If we only sit and listen to the programmes we will forget soon. ||
 * **60** || ** May 7, 2010 3:26 a.m. ** || Learning should be shared ie if you go to a conference, PD session etc it then gets shared at a staff meeting or training session. Lots of opportunities for less confident members of staff to upskill. ||
 * **61** || ** May 9, 2010 10:28 p.m. ** || I think it is well paced - people need time to apply ideas in the classroom context. ||
 * **62** || ** May 9, 2010 10:32 p.m. ** || By making the computers in our classroom as capable as the ones in the ict suite.

By putting together a booklet that would be left in the room with flow diagrams showing how to use programs/ posters. ||
 * **63** || ** May 10, 2010 3:13 a.m. ** || smaller groups.

everyone levelled.

all equipment to the same standard. ||
 * **64** || ** May 10, 2010 10:51 p.m. ** || More hands-on activities please ||
