ICT Strategic Vision.
  • a future where ICT and eLearning fully
    integrates within the teaching and learning
    program at Carlton North Primary School.
  • Draft ICT Planner 2007

eLearning, the definition.
  • Allows for engaged, collaborative learning.
  • Enables learners to access environments, tools
    and resources at their own pace, in their own
    time and from wherever they might be.
  • Empowers learners with responsibility for their
    own learning experience.
  • Acts as a catalyst for authentic, meaningful
    learning experiences.
  • Offers powerful new possibilities for teacher
    professional development, student engagement and
    meaningful school/community integration.

Strategic Thinking
  • five year plan with less detail as you go on
    .. its not the detail you want, its the general
    direction that you need, futures thinking and
    having ideas to generate discussion.
  • Brent Davies.

7
Technical understanding
  • Moore's Law. The first microprocessor only had
    22 hundred transistors. We are looking at
    something a million times that complex in the
    next generationsa billion transistors. What that
    gives us in the way of flexibility to design
    products is phenomenal. Gordon E. Moore.
    Moore's Law, states that the number of
    transistors on a chip doubles about every two
    years.

Situational Awareness
  • Key Personnel in big picture situational
    analysis of Network, Hardware, Software.
  • Revisit historical information.
  • Analysis Past v Present.
  • (Re) Prioritisation of where to from here.
  • Communication and discussion.

10
Situational Awareness
  • Curriculum Server instability.
  • Hardware incompatibility, Apple v IBM
  • Software incompatibility, ditto.
  • Cable incompatibility CAT 5 v CAT 5e/ 6
  • Infrastructure upgrades required in (almost) all
    rooms
  • Wireless network instability.
  • Outdated peripherals.
  • Limited budget.

11
Strategic Objectives.
  • Trouble shoot pressing ICT issues.
  • Develop technical understanding and expertise of
    the curriculum network.
  • Investigate finance, budget and resources.
  • Prioritise short, medium and long term
    objectives.
  • Re-establish a stable curriculum network.
  • Plan for the future.

Short Term Troubleshooting
  • the urgent drives out the important the future
    goes largely unexplored

Thinking Strategically.
  • school leadership must be futures orientated and
    strategically driven
  • Brent Davies.

Future Planning.

Futures Planning.
  • Hardware
  • Learning Technology Plans for computer hardware
    are cyclic over a three to five year period.
    Current hardware would begin to be phased out
    starting 2009 Carlton North has some 70 plus
    classroom, library and other IBM compatibles
    available to students, suggesting 20 to 25
    replacement systems required in 2009, 2010,
    20011and 2012. Equipment may be leased,
    purchased or parts sources and hardware built.

18
Futures Planning.
  • Stage One Network Upgrade. Estimated Cost
    6000.
  • 2008 Stage One. Library and Unit 4, Rooms 9, 10
    and 11.
  • Upgrade existing power points, reposition
    switches and re-cable CAT 5e or better with
    shielded conduit to Year 5/ 6 classrooms (12
    computers) and Library (14 2 computers). Local
    technician to complete data cabling works.

19
Futures Planning.
  • Curriculum Server Upgrade. Estimated Cost
    1750.
  • Addition of curriculum server hard drive upgrade
    to provide space for increased multimedia student
    use and create revised file, drive and intra
    school email provision.
  • Addition of an Network Attached Storage device
    (APs Office) as a curriculum server backup and
    increase server hard drive space.

20
Futures Planning.
  • Wireless Upgrade. Estimated Cost unknown
    approximately 1000.
  • The existing wireless network is at times
    unreliable. Approximate costs to upgrade are
    difficult to cost but will take additional
    technical time.

21
Futures Planning.
  • Multimedia Hard Drives. Estimated Cost 3000.
  • The addition of two higher specification
    multimedia workstations one with dual graphics to
    the library pod would assist multimedia, CD and
    DVD presentations and copying.

22
Futures Planning.
  • Plasma Multimedia Display. Estimated Cost
    1000.
  • The completion of portable multimedia plasma
    display unit including a platform, Hard Drive,
    wireless keyboard and speakers will allow this
    unit to network and display school wide without
    the need of a notebook.

23
Futures Planning.
  • Software. Estimated Cost 2500.
  • Consolidation of software through ICT budget to
    strategically prioritise Literacy, Numeracy,
    Problem Solving, Higher Order Thinking Skills and
    Middle Years of Schooling through software and
    site licence such as Inspiration, Know more
    words, First 100 words, Robotics, and to meet
    Technical Software and Licensing requirements,
    for example Ghost, Nero, Vegas, Stop Motion Pro.

24
Futures Planning.
  • Technical Support.
  • Estimated Cost 10 000.
  • Additional local technical support from 5 hours
    per week to 10 hours per week to support a
    Learning Technology Plan.
  • Consumables..

26
Major Learning.
  • See the future.
  • Share the vision.
  • Build a bridge so that others may see.
  • Institute a no fail first step.
  • Construct the plans for success.
  • Institutionalise success.
