My Evaluation report - possible ideas

The school has been involved for the last two year in an ICT cluster contract. I have not been involved we part-timers are not always included. I was involved in one afternoon as a teacher was absent - waste of time!

The impression I get from a lot of the teachers is that they didn't get a lot from it. The lead teachers who were sent on training days were meant to share it with others. I have never received anything by email. I asked the principal about this and she said that it is done in team meetings (I am not at them). On further asking of staff they said they hadn't received much at all.

As it is near the end we were all given a survey to complete (interestingly on paper) - I have not heard what came as a result of this. I got to do it as well.

I thought I could to a needs-based report using some teacher (not lead-teachers) look at what they got from the training and what they wanted and maybe included the children to see what they have got from it. This is a bit harder.

This is not going to be easy as I was not involved in the training but this is the best I can think of on a Saturday night!!

 Added this ADDIE Model as I think it will become my mantra for this course.

What I do with my day!

Bronwyn asked a question in her comment about whether I teach a topic across the board the answer is yes and no. I work two days a week in a primary school releasing teacher for approximately half a day four times a week. One class I do every week for half a day. I try to take ICT. I use the word try strongly.

To explain. The school has 16 computers in a COW (computer on wheels) which I move around the school but only if it is not raining as you should see one of the hills I have to go up. I have nearly lost the whole set up going down. I have had issues with the wireless not working - it is not in all the school so have to use a 'nail dryer' as I call it but that will go missing!! I do ICT as sometimes I can't get on the Internet so have to be program based - did Powerpoint last term. eLearning is not happening!!

I refer to my school as technically challenged as it took me a whole term to get a computer so I could just use as a data projector. I must have been the only person teaching ICT who yelled out the instructions.

Right now back to comments about evaluation.

Introduction

• Who you are and your work etc., 

Hi my name is Katie Gibbs and I live in Auckland. Originally I come from Taranaki and taught in England for 13 years.

I am a primary school teacher who teaches part-time two days a week where I try to do ICT with a technically challenged school.

• Your interest in evaluation and what you know already, 

My interest ... to be honest last paper! what do I know - not a lot! As I don't teach a course I will find this challenging and I am that one that asks lots of questions. Sorry!!

• What you hope to get out of this course, 

After navigating my way round I hope to pass this course. Sorry I think I am still developing my thoughts here.

• Ideas you have for an evaluation project. 

 Are you able to do a project that evaluate what is not in place and suggest what could be - no eLearning in the building to evaluate.

Katie

Okay I read and tried to digest - Wikieducator does look different.
So welcome to my blog - if I get time I will add some widgets.
