Case study - Integrated Year 9 class at Wellington High School
The background
Jane Poata is an English teacher at Wellington High School and also has an integrated class at the Year 9 level. Jane attended a series of four one hour workshops run by the TIG project coordinator at Wellington High School in March 2009. She also came to a full day workshop funded by the Wellington Loop project.
Since the workshops, Jane
has been experimenting with the TakingITGlobal virtual classroom tools.
Her students have submitted work via the TakingITGlobal site and have
learned how to set up their own profile pages.
Jane has
also used the TakingITGlobal site to make contact with a Canadian
teacher. They have set up a collaborative project between their two
classes based around the theme of 'Water'. In the video below, Jane
shares her thoughts about this collabortive project and talks about the
impact it has had both on herself as a learner and on the students in
her integrated class.
