Broadfield School ICT Strategy 2014

Overview

Introduction Broadfield School has in the past had minimal focus on technology as an enabler of learning. In 2013 our new Principal and new Board of Trustees agreed that we need to prepare our children more effectively for the technological world they will live in.

Our ICT strategic plan was created in 2013. This document is based on that plan. It updates our planning and outlines the approach we intend to take over the next five years.

We acknowledge that due to the pace of technological change, this will need to be regularly reviewed and updated.

Background We are based in a small rural/lifestyle community which, since the Christchurch earthquakes, faces the prospect of substantial growth. Our school began 2013 with a student roll of 102. As at June 2014, we have 130 students, and we anticipate continued growth.

Although we are a Decile 10 school, many of our families are not drawn from the immediate area, and therefore we have a wide demographic mix that is not accurately reflected in our funding model. Many of our students do not have exposure to computers at home.

Strategic Overview

School Vision Inspiring every child to “dig deep” and do their best in an environment where people are passionate, engaged and valued.

ICT Vision Technology plays a vital role in the 21st century. As 21C citizens, we want our children to be equipped with the knowledge, skills and experiences for them to be successful in the future.

ICT strategic goals

Our purpose for enhancing our ICT position at Broadfield is:

Goal: Aims to:1 Student

engagementIncrease student engagement, motivation and achievement levels.

2 Collaboration Foster collaboration Access the wider community and world Foster individualised learning Celebrate learning (as a published author) Receive regular feedback from a wider audience Encourage creativity Provide student choice Self-management Parent involvement

3 21C Teaching Shift and improve teachers’ pedagogy to 21C thinking

Priorities In order to develop a pathway for our ICT goals, the following planning priorities have been identified:

These work streams are interdependent and therefore timeframe planning is not necessarily in the linear order shown here.


1. Infrastructure

2. Community engagement

3.Teachers' ICT skill development

4. Senior school ICT needs (create & collaborate)

5.Junior school ICT needs (create)

Current Situation

Overview We recognise that we have a long way to go to resource ICT to a level that supports 21C learning and teaching. In 2013, the hardware resources we had around the school represented a ratio of 10 children per device. After substantial investment in late 2013 we have now moved the ratio to 3 children per device.

In 2013 we developed a solid plan and set up our infrastructure to support moving ahead with hardware and software that aligns with the best learning outcomes for our students.

In 2014/15 we are moving into Stage Two of our ICT plan and will work towards a ratio of 2 children per device. In the longer term we anticipate moving towards BYOD.

Strategic Decisions

We have developed two platform preferences from our planning discussions. They are:Platform Rationale

1.Cloud based

(Chromebooks and Google)

Ubiquity: Learning anywhere/anytime/any pace/any device

Connectedness: Edgeless education, connected minds

Free for Education Always up-to-date: Developments are continual

2.Apple products

(iPad and Desktops)

Longer lifespan No viruses More reliable operating system Intuitive touch-screen technology Easy to update and synchronise Less costs associated with upkeep

Infrastructure Ensuring a sound infrastructure base is our top priority. This provides the support and framework for our hardware and software planning and management. In 2013 we made significant progress in this area, and completed phase one. In 2014 the school has moved to Network for Learning (MOE National learning network) www.n4l.co.nz

Hardware resources

We currently have the following in place in our classrooms:

Class Children’s devices Age Lifespan remaining

Current Situation, Continued

Software resources

Junior School:Junior school now has internet access on their devices. We have researched and purchased a number of educational apps which are being used effectively in the classroom setting. Licenses are purchased in groups of 20, and we will continue to research and add to these resources. Students in Year Two are trialling “Reading Eggs” http://readingeggs.co.nz as an online tool to help improve their reading skills.

Senior School:Senior school students have trialled “Maths Buddy” www.mathsbuddy.co.nz, which has now been implemented across all senior rooms. Senior students are using google apps for education. Teachers have google dashboard (Hapara) to track and monitor student progress and activity.

Teachers’ skills In 2013 Broadfield School staff moved to using Google Apps for Education. This has allowed us to collaborate online more effectively than in the past. We now have 24/7 access to information and online access to school systems. Through internal Professional Development, the staff now readily use online documents, calendars and spreadsheets to work more effectively and collaboratively.

In 2014 we started using Google Apps with the children. The staff have been on courses and worked with CORE Education to up-skill themselves. We use software called Hapara to manage the children’s accounts and workflow. This has proven very motivational to the children and has enabled teachers to interact and engage the children to more effective levels.

The junior school staff have attended training sessions and with the support of CORE Education have effectively integrated iPads into their classroom programmes.

We are now heading toward web-based solutions so both staff and students can learn from school and home.

A large part of developing the teachers’ capabilities has been done through the “Teaching as Inquiry” model.

iOS 7 provides powerful new ways to configure and deploy devices across institutions and features to help schools purchase, distribute and manage apps with ease. App Store license management, seamless enrollment in mobile device management (MDM) and single sign on are just some of the capabilities in iOS 7 that make it ideal for education.

App Store license management.

The App Store Volume Purchase Program now offers institutions the ability to assign apps to users while keeping full ownership and control over app licenses. Institutions purchase app licenses through the VPP website, and can use their MDM solution to assign apps to students, faculty, and staff over the air. Students can enroll with their personal Apple IDs without providing it to their institution, and apps are placed in their purchase history for self-service download, or are installed automatically via MDM. Apps can be revoked at any time and reassigned to other students. In addition to iOS apps, VPP now also supports the purchase of Mac apps and even books, so students can be provided all the tools they need to get their work done.

New MDM options.

The MDM protocol in iOS 7 includes a number of new commands, queries, and configuration options that make third-party MDM solutions even more powerful. Wirelessly set up managed apps, control which accounts and apps can open certain documents, configure accessibility options and AirPrint printers, and restrict changes to accounts. Teachers can remotely lock or unlock iOS devices into a specific app, such as an assessment app, ensuring that all students are on the same activity at the same time.



http://www.apple.com/nz/ipad/compare/


i-pads, continued

Streamlined MDM enrollment.

With automatic device configuration, new devices purchased by a school can be wirelessly enrolled into their MDM system during setup. In addition, new devices can be placed wirelessly in supervised mode, which enables enhanced management options. With streamlined MDM enrollment, users can be up and running quickly without the need for manual configuration by IT.

Single sign on.

Authenticating into your institution’s apps is now as simple as doing it once. Single sign on (SSO) means user credentials can be used across apps. Each new app configured with SSO is able to verify the user is allowed access to institutional resources and login without requiring them to enter their password again.

AirDrop.

AirDrop allows users to transfer photos, videos, or documents between iOS devices making it easy for teachers and students to collaborate. Users just tap the Share icon within an app and select the person they want to share with. AirDrop does the rest using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Transfers are encrypted, so all their work is highly secure.




i-pads, continued

Enhancements for Apple TV.

New management options aren’t just for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Now Apple TV can also be enrolled in MDM, allowing configuration of settings like Wi-Fi and default language. iOS devices can be pre-configured with AirPlay destinations using configuration profiles. And MDM can prompt a student to mirror their screen on a specific Apple TV, so teachers can easily put their work on the big screen.

Enroll students of all ages in iTunes U, iCloud and more.

Students with Apple ID can have an enhanced personal experience with access to great online services like iTunes U, iCloud backup, and the ability to receive licenses in the new Volume Purchase Program. And now schools will have a program to facilitate Apple obtaining verifiable parental consent for personal Apple IDs for students under age 13.

Caching Server 2 supports iOS 7.

Caching Server 2 speeds the download and delivery of content through the App Store, Mac App Store, iTunes Store and iBooks Store. By caching purchased content on an institution’s OS X Mavericks Server, your students and faculty get faster downloads of all their content including software updates, directly to their iOS 7 devices.
