What were our considerations?
1.What sort of learning did we want to for our students?
2.How were we going to use the physical spaces?
3.What technologies were going to assist us?

Technology by itself doesn’t improve learning...
Information and communication technology offers a diversity of learning opportunities from which teachers and learners can make
decisions.
Our challenge...
is to make the learning experiences for our students
richer, more meaningful and the use of tools that can support and
promote deep understandings.
Alan November
Don’t buy any more stuff (technology) until we get the teaching and learning right.
It can create problems if teachers do not have the teaching and learning right, and if there isn’t the professional learning.
