1. Realised that sustanined change will occur when
teacher pedagogy changes rather than when teachersgain skills.
Irealised that I need to trust my students and myself, that together we can do
a good job. I guess, I believe that we are now learning and not just doingfill-in or busy activities. These are now activities that are strengthening
student knowledge and current learning.

2. Teacher pedagogical inquiry
* The difference in my practice is that I am planning effectively for three
groups .. My students learning to date has been clearly very pleasing
with data collected showing major gains in nearly allgroups
* The wiki is now well and truly the hub of all our learning with homework sheets
and weekly tasks uploaded. I have found the discussions are getting more views
and more time spent on them as opposed to when students do them in their own
books. For example of Term 1 reflection discussion has had 141 views with students
spending time discussing with others their highlights / challenges of the term. The
more that students get into it, the more I find I want to edit, update and add to the
wiki. I am also encouraging students to take ownership of it with Jacob, Finn and
Brandon creating the whole terms PE page and the 2 discussions about sports to go
with it. For boys who werent that interested in the wiki, this was huge progress.

7. Gathered data mid year to check if on track for
reaching targets8. Gathered data at the end of term 3 and focused on filling in the
gaps in term 4
No longer do we have everyone doing reading or maths at exactly the same time. Students are not
restricted by time lines and waiting for others to finish.
Students have a set amount of required must do tasks, each day and each week. These can be done
in any order they choose. Certain things are timetabled in like tech and assembly, but for most of the
rest of the time students can timetable their own day. This allows me more time to work with one or
two students and small groups. Students track their learning using a passport (notebook) where they
record what they are doing when, as well as reflections and comments about their progress.
We set up this system using a powerpointwith hyperlinks to students group work. While this took usawhile to set up, it now runs itself. Students are more involved (than ever) in planning and
constructing their learning including selected reading materials and follow up activities as well as
finding maths activities that fit their next learning steps.

Increased student engagementTeacher Perspective
I have found that children are in class early and they want to work. They are powering through
their basic tasks (e.g. handwriting). I must have spelling words, quiz etc. organised before Monday,
as students want to get a head start on Mondaytheir keen-ness/motivation is amazing.
Parent Perspective
I think it helps towards their organisational skills, decision making and planning. We have seen
evidence of this in other aspects of her life. The other major positive for us has been her
understanding of exactly where she is at, and what she needs to work, especially with her maths.
The way learning is set up has really suited him. The choice within structure has helped him build
independence and self-management. He enjoys being involved in planning the learning and is
definitely keen to continue this out of school hours using things like the wiki.

I could never go back to the old way. I used to do these isolated units such as
pirates and we would write about them and at first I wondered what we would write
aboutnow there is everything to write about and we didnt even get to do theLondon riots last week
He has of his own choice chosen to sit where I will monitor himto help keep
him on track. Wow this is so powerfulthat a child has acknowledged he needs
guidance or monitoring. Its not a weakness but strength!
Inow facilitate shared learning and provide a supportive learning environment
where I have learn alongside my students. While I have been the teacher in some
situations in others students have been the facilitators to learning and I have been the
student.
We have made connections to prior learning and experience.This has also been for
both my self and the studentswe have been students together, broadening existingknowledge and learning new skills.

e-learning is about
students choosing and
using the best 'tool' or plan
to facilitate their own
learning.
Children develop their
own learning pathways
and journeys. Children
document their own
learning which ends up as
digital portfolio.
