<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Wow, and you just happened to be in on the
discussion .... and I sure will be taking the message to the management
once I get through your incredible report.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could I ask what new idea we helped germinate here
for you ? The one about specific skills ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, I would love to know how you found us here -
the community/list , that is - as it is so refreshing to get an external
view.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did post to the itapps list inviting colleagues
to follow this thread as many would be elearning coordinators so we might get
more input into this one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would love your opinion on the epotential
continuum ( sadly only govt schools as there are "issues" with privates and
independents taking this one on ) and if we can get examples of each level
of the key areas :</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I've been following your conversation from afar and nodding and hearing
your joys and pains.</DIV>
<DIV>You may like to dip into some research we did 12 months ago about

<DIV>I suppose one situation that I'll always remember is when a parent
volunteered to be on our ICT Committee. He had some experience in the the
industry (Oversaw the implementation of a local airlines online ticketing
system) and thought he could offer some advice. We welcomed him whole
heartedly.</DIV>
<DIV>He sat in on the first meeting and we discussed what we were currently
doing and what needed to be done. He asked who were the people responsible
for each of the projects and why weren't they here?</DIV>
<DIV>I said it was basically me and my tech. He just sat there and said
"that's ridiculous, no-one should be doing all that." We welcomed him
to the world of government secondary colleges. He wished me luck, told me I
was crazy and never returned. :(</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I have always pressed for more time release - when I worked at a
private school, there were two people who had full time jobs (non-teaching)
doing what I did and a team of a dozen technicians doing what my tech did. I
always knew that this was impossible in a government school, but I thought
that at least I could be taken off extras, maybe not have replacement
classes at the end of the year when my Yr 12's left so we could plan for the
following year, but no. I explained that unless you have done the job (as is
the case with all jobs) you cannot know how time consuming it was.</DIV>
<DIV>I have a few things in the pipe line to make it a bit easier on my
suckercessor:</DIV>
<DIV>KLA's will have their own trolleys of laptops and will be responsible
for them. No more generic trolleys that people have no responsibility for
and hence they get trashed.</DIV>
<DIV>Students leasing their own laptops (more ownership - less damage)</DIV>
<DIV>A technical team of 3.</DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am happy that now ICT is seen as absolutely essenti al in almost
every class and "mission critical" in a school that before I arrived had
"bring your laptop to school days" where staff were rewarded for simply
showing up with their laptop (having taken them off their won kids). The
2010 budget requests are a testament to how far we have come.</DIV>
<DIV>Being part of a LSF ICT initiative was a blessing and a curse. Huge
lump sums to start a program - everyone gets used to it - then the money is
gone. I caution any school going whole hog with the Rudd money to thing
about how they are going to sustain what they start. That's why student
leasing is crucial. It is the only way we will get parents to contribute.
They don't pay "voluntary levies" but will part with the $ for a
laptop.</DIV>
<DIV>Any way - I am not leaving the online world and look forward to being
able to act on the wonderful ideas that crop up here and start to contribute
some more of my own again.</DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">In the new revision we tried to place the

the doing. Having to "do" it all, I am exhausted.</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">I have decided to change schools and step back
and just go back to classroom teaching rather than continue this
leadership role - IMHO you really need someone who doesn't have a life,
other interests or a young family to do this role justice with the time
allowance given. I really miss not being able to play with the
technology in a manner that enhances my teaching. I am too busy
administrating, budgeting, teaching others, trying to do justice to! my
Yr 12 Physics classes and raise 3 young'ns to have the fun I used to. I
hope that by returning full time to the classroom I can re-kindle the
spark and catch up on actually using developing technologies for
teaching rather than just reading about them and hoping someone else
will have a play with them.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">I just read the last few posts.
(thnx for the kind words Litsa!) To help answer some of your Qs,
Kevork, it's my 1st year as eLearning Cooordinator @ MSJ (where Litsa
is) and I've taken the "stepwise refinement process".</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">One reason being that it allows for
the naturally occuring organic growth of the curriculum to continue to
develop along side the evolving technological
advances. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">To deconstruct and reconstruct
courses is difficult enough for teachers, in my opinion, without the
added pressure of having to "add" an ICT element. The approach of
"adding" ICT to a course also tends to trivialise ICT and cause it to
be percieved as a seperate and novel addition to any course, rather
than a truly integrated and living<SPAN> </SPAN>
<SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN>
<SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN>
<SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN> <SPAN> </SPAN>organ within
the curriculum.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">The "stepwise"<SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 17px"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"> approach
also allows teachers to take ownership of the changes in 'their'
course. Ownership of any change to a course is much more permanent
than any change that is percieved as forced and
laboured.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 17px"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">A major part of my job, as I see it, is to
assist in promoting ideas. I help teachers see<SPAN> which
technogies may assist them in their particular course. I show them
things that might help achieve the goals they already have, that will
engage students and save both parties time and I assist the teacher in
ther ability and confidence in using that
technology.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">...so I don't! :) I do it in consultation with
the teacher who is the expert in their area. I give an idea or two, WE
try it out with as much support from me as possible, and we refine it
wherever needed. When it's successful (and it isn't always) it creates
a buzz around that faculty and (fingers crossed!) eventually
permiates throughout the school. A few successes and a ripple turns
into a wave.</SPAN>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">I see! this approach as only one
key strategy in the process of changing the way teahers have done
things for hundreds of years. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px"><BR></SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">Other key strategies/ingredients
include:</SPAN>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">- loads of promotion of success
stories (especially if local)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">- keeping staff aware of changes in
the culture of the planet (like the stuff that allows me to be typing
this out on my iPhone whilst I watch NCIS in my PJ's)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">- and the eLearming Coordinator
REALLY needs the support of a forward thinking principal and
leadership team</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 15px">- as well as an ICT Dept that
supports the ! trial of new technologies.</SPAN></DIV>

----------------------------------------------------------------</FONT><BR><SPAN>Hi
Litsa,</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN> It sounds like you have
a truly integrated team working very well together rather than pushing
the elearning person out the front to do it all. I think that is the
key and the balance sounds spot on at your school. It was presumptuous
of me to assume otherwise .. sorry ...:))</SPAN><BR><SPAN>Thanks again
for sharing the job description.</SPAN><BR><SPAN>I do have a question
about the journey from the inception of the elearning job to the
present. Was it necessary to deconstruct and reconstruct the
curriculum in each area or was it a stepwise refinement process to
move towards the embedding of learning technologies
?<SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Thanks
again</SPAN><BR><SPAN></SPAN><BR><SPAN>Kevork
