EY team Meeting Jun 2010
AMAZING feedback from teachers involved in work with our Christchurch facilitators...
“ I need to let the children use their creative thinking rather than presume what they want their creations to look like when they have finished. It made me stop and think about what I had said, and that I need to think before I speak.”

Looking for GOOD ways to integrate ICT in your programme?
The synthesis report from the 3-year ECE ICT programme is a great place to start. lf you think ICT means children sitting alone in front of computers, or computers replacing other forms of play and learning, be prepared to be both surprised and challenged! The report highlights the way e-learning was effective in changing children's learning, teacher practice and relationships with whanau & communities.
