PLG e-learning Cluster __2011__

Ki ora! Welcome to the PLG e learning wiki!

You are part of a specialized group that will help to shape the future of e learning at our school. You will help to test, scrutinize and develop e learning at Cashmere. Please take a moment to read through six likely questions you may have about this cluster.

__NB__: This will be the default homepage. You should click on the __PLG E Group Discussions Page__ during the year for further updates. You can also see the meeting agendas ahead of time (go to the Meeting Agendas page on the left hand menu).

**__Q1: What do I have to do? What is my level of commitment __****? ** You have indicated an interest and willingness to use e tools in your classroom, so you simply carry on as normal. However it would be highly valuable if you could collect some 'Student Voice' during each term. In addition, you will be required to stop and reflect on how e learning is impacting on student engagement and achievement. As reflective practitioners, this is something that you will no doubt be doing anyway (for class specific planning). You will however be asked to fill out a PLG e Journal which you bring with you to the 3 meetings we have scheduled during the year.

**__Q2: When are these meetings? __** The group will meet once a term. The first meeting will be scheduled shortly. Please take a moment to look quickly look at the 2011 Year Plan (see link on left menu). It indicates likely meeting times. The purpose of these meetings will be to share our experiences and really get to the crux of how we can use e learning tools to improve student achievement.

**__Q3: What is the PLG e Journal? __** This has been attached below for your immediate convenience. Ultimately, you can document your experience as you see fit. As you can see below, this is simple and easy to complete (and ready to go). Given we are promoting the use of e learning tools you are also very welcome to post your thoughts and reflections on this wikispace! (use the PLG E Group Discussion page). **[|PLG E journal.docx] **

**__Q4: What information should I collect from 'Student Voice'? Do you have any templates I can use? __** Click on the 'Teacher and Student Voice Templates Page' from a range of possible templates you could use.

**__Q5: Will I get any training? __** We will keep you posted if any opportunities present themselves. We will endeavour to listen to and support you in anyway we can.

If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to see me (PN) or Carla. It might be really helpful if you could post ideas/thoughts in the discussion forum during the year. I have created a page for this specific purpose (__PLG E Group Discussions__). //It would also be great __if you could feed back to your faculty during meeting slots__. Everyone is welcome to view this wiki, but it would great if you could be a spokesperson for the cluster.//
