This week’s input to From the Coal Face comes from Ruth Buchanan, Teacher Librarian at Colo High School, New South Wales.
I’ve met Ruth “virtually” through the OZTL listserv, a great email distribution list that supports teacher librarians throughout Australia.
Ruth writes
We distributed our federally-funded, state-administered Year 9 laptops last week. Arising from a discussion with a colleague, I put together a one page guide to seven simple things to try in week 1, for all our Year 9 teachers.
Ruth has described the first two days with laptops on her blog Skerricks
While different systems have selected different laptop/hardware configurations, Ruth’s 7 things to try is general enough to be widely relevant. If you’d like a copy, the Google Docs link can be found in her Day Two post.
If you would like to showcase what is happening with ICT in your school, then check what From the Coal Face is all about and email me with a short article and perhaps a photo or two.
