ICT Professional Learning - Foundation

This Key Area is concerned with the priority given to ICT in Professional Learning with a particular emphasis on learning and teaching.

At the foundation learning ICT professional learning is being undertaken with an emphasis on acquiring basic ICT skills for the individual rather than for embedded learning and teaching practice. 

To help you reach your e-potential…….why not...

  • Make a concerted effort to express a positive attitude to ICT. Demonstrate this in your motivation and commitment to further developing your personal ICT skills by attending new professional learning opportunities, both within and outside your school.
  • Learn alongside your students.
  • Include an ICT goal in your Professional Learning Plan.
  • Take some time to develop your own skills.  Dedicate some ‘exploration time’ for yourself and explore the software programs you have immediately available to you on your personal laptop such as the MS Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and digiLearn and think about how you can use these with your students.  Talk to a colleague about how they use them.
  • Take some time to read Education Times - on the ePotential page there is a list of upcoming ICT related Professional Learning programs.
