Goal: To Embed the use of ICT into our collaborative classroom programme/enviroment. Outcome: Our Class Wiki Our class wiki

Over the year, I have focused on embeding ICT into teaching pracitse, rather than focusing of specific tools. The result of this can be seen in our class wiki.

// The structure of this wiki is controlled by me, but as a class we collaboratively add information, ideas and outcomes from our learning. The aim is to provide a focus point to support relevant learning experiences, that students have ownership over. //  A clear example of this collaboration can be seen on the page ‘[|Mr Rob’]– which was created one week, during maths. We were looking at measurement and Mr Rob mentioned needing to work out how many plants were required to fill the school gardens. This page was created as we looked at the problem and allowed number of things to occur: 1. Students could refer to the information as they problem solved. – students accessed this from home. 2. Students discussed the problem with parents, using the wiki as a reference point 3. Students shared results and compared their findings 4. Using the discussion tab, students were asked to reflect on how this task supported their learning in Maths



__Specific learning Intentions and ICT links__
This programme has been designed for a group of students who are workign above the expected level for their age and focuses on enrichment. To work collaboratively to develop understanding around classic children’s novels, using our knowledge of different reading comprehension strategies. An extension wiki created with the specific students as members, discussions, reflections and discoveries around the novel to be recorded by each student in the wiki. Each student has their own colour to identify their contributions. The wiki also allows them to share online research and finding s around the novel and ideas they are exploring. - link to wiki found on class wiki.

**Learning intention:** To reinforce knowledge required to reach specific numeracy stage.
 * ICT tools used to support student outcomes:** Classroom programme based on 3 group rotation – Teacher – follow up activity – Basic facts focus. This basic facts focus is often delivered via online activities (often digi store) that target key learning, i.e. place value, family of facts, equivalent fractions… Links to specific activities followed from wiki, available both at home and school.

To collaborate shared results collected from science investigation to allow now specific interpretation of outcomes, while controling variables that occur with individual subject results.

 * Learning intention:**
 * ICT tools used to support student outcomes:** Using an excel document, students collate results and save as an uploaded file onto wiki for easy access for all students, both at home and at school.
