Discuss: What are the stages and processes when implementing a new initiative?

Share: What have you found out about implementing initiatives?

Issues to be taken into account: ◦ Model of ownership ◦ Device – shared ◦ Infrastructure ◦ PD ◦ Apps & quality &finding ◦ Assessment ◦ Policy documents – user agreements, ◦ Data management ◦ ICT helpdesk ◦ Costs of apps – vouchers & management ◦ Parent involvement – communications strategy ◦ Measuring value – evaluation

 Four phases: ◦ PLANNING – research, vision, consult, assess readiness, project plan, budget ◦ PREPARATION – assess teacher skills, professional learning, spaces, suppliers, applications, costs, policies ◦ IMPLEMENTATION – support services, distribute, use in classrooms ◦ EVALUATION – device use (action research), support services, policies and management  Good Practice Tips  Implementation of Mobile Learning projects 

 Teaching and Learning ◦ Teachers are confident to use ICT to plan, deliver and assess curriculum online  Leadership ◦ Principal and leadership team are confident to implement  Staff Capability ◦ Teachers are confident and capable ICT users  Infrastructure ◦ School infrastructure and technical support is robust  Data/Content ◦ Data and content is ready to upload  Community ◦ The school is preparing its community

 Document how the plan works at your school  Assess readiness against each step  Where would you review: ◦ ICT infrastructure (servers, wireless, network, etc) ◦ eLearning Plan ◦ Technicians ◦ Teacher ICT skills ◦ Student ICT skills

Raised from discussion:  NSSCF – blend of devices & how to manage – ◦ Apple & Microsoft knowledge bases. TSSPs network.  Networks – Xirrus wireless points are robust  Cost – saving money – cheap vouchers  Updates & how to manage  Licensing of apps – Casper to push out apps to people, remote monitoring & tracking  Some PDFs can convert to eBooks  Maintenance & Insurance  Charging  iTunes accounts & set up – buy a free app, set up another account and buy from a gift card or voucher. Parents hold the iTunes account & emphasise no credit card a/c.  Synching ipads and apps – labour intensive for shared devices  Parent persuasive ideas  iPads, windows and managing the dual platform
