Our mentors have been in at Etime for another upskilling session focussing on Digital Literacy.

__07.09.09__ This week 3 of our mentors, Kathy Baker, Todd Blake and Lisa Squire will be travelling to the North Island to participate in the ETime Bus Tour. Model schools will be visited to observe how I.C.T is delivered in these high performance learning environments in Auckland and Tauranga. As a result of this trip, ideas will be brought back to Chisnallwood Intermediate to staff and students.

Last week, most of our staff attended the second cluster share at Heaton Intermediate. Teachers participated in a range of workshops learning about new tools and educational websites. Thank you to Tim, Kathy and Islay for presenting!

Photos from the Cluster Launch. Thank you to Nick from Etime for the pictures.

__05.06.09__ The mentors have been at Etime learning to use Picasa (a photo editing tool that makes collages and movies using your own photos) and use our digital cameras properly! We've been in the Botanical Gardens on a frosty morning getting some cool shots using the macro function.

We're also using Comic Life which is a ICT/Literacy tool. You can play around with text, turn images into comic styles. It's on every classroom PC and Ms Baker's teaching it for IT. There is so much you can do, but here is an example of a Haiku poem that's been 'Comic Lifed.'
