Staff had an amazing time at Ulearn in Christchurch. A big day the first day with us starting at 2.30am in the morning for shuttle pick up to Auckland. The pre conference workshop by Margie Carter was inspiring and affirming.
Between staff we attended 26 workshops on different ideas around ICT and innovative teacher practice. The keynote speakers Gary Stager, Derek Wenmoth, Margaret Carr were interesting and thought provoking. We have a lot of reflecting to do!!!! Our presentation was very successful with a range of people attending from The Ministry of Educartion, ERO Education review Office, Secondary teachers, Primary Teachers, Principles, Correspondance Schools and other Early Childhood Centres. We were challenged and affirmed. A great experience, well done to the team. We have worked hard for this.
A great team building event, the weather was reasonably kind and we managed to get some shopping in too! Looking forward to sharing with you our inspirations and ideas. Ally
