busy-felt like I running all day was good being able to share the experience with other teachers -debrief discussions valuable four schools over two days would have been easier to cope with i.e. getting more out of each visit, not getting into information overload etc Port Chalmers, Pine Hill, Wakari, Elm Grove Got lots of ideas from the visits, not just related to ICT. e.g liked being welcomed by the pupils singing at Port Chalmers and Pine Hill -Pine Hill was the most interesting and useful visit for me lots of practical ideas for Junior class teachers liked the idea of sending home a soft toy and a camera for pupils to record toy's experiences -to go on class 'blog' Was good to question teachers at Pine Hill, and have teacher talk to us at the end Wakari wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped, but thought the idea of communicating with another class was worth experimenting with -don't know about trying to share in lesson the way they did (took too long) Saw some interesting artwork at Wakari Taking photos in the different schools was helpful, because I can look back over them, and remember the experience (have done this several times since the trip) Can't remember much about Elm Grove-but liked the way they had PD information displayed for staff (and visitors)-was easy to follow
