“By learning you will teach; by teaching you will learn.”

Latin Proverb

Tahunanui School

We welcome you to our journey so far on the Whakatu ICT Cluster and our first e-Learning walk though. In the first year of the cluster we began developing our pedagogy around the 21st Century Learner and exploring the ever increasing range of e-learning tools. During our second year we have extended the focus to androgogy and developing a model of personalized professional development. Throughout our journey we have focused upon student voice, listening to their ideas on 21st Century Learning through student engagement surveys, student councilors, student e-learning angels and experts. We are still on our journey, the destination is in sight and once we reach it we will search for new mountains to climb! We hope that you enjoy sharing our successes so far.

Getting I.T. right!Effective professional development in e-learning requires a school culture founded on life-long learning, collaboration, and the authentic application of I.C.T. tools to classroom practice. Walking through a colleague’s classroom is a powerful way to getting there.
