=Pt England School Visit - 8th November 2012=

The key to this professional development is open mindedness. Out of the five teachers that I have talked to the idea of computers for all students is a big ask. I commend the Point England School and Tamaki College one device initiative and those that dare to make a difference in the community that they work in.



The P.D. was an excellent chance to see where teaching is headed in the future, with technology as it is, there is a real need for all teachers to realise our clients ’ needs when it comes to teaching our curriculum to this and future generations. Money is not an excuse as children and their learning comes first and the vehicle to knowledge through digital devices is invaluable. Don ’ t get me wrong there is still the need for all types of learning and the need to co-exist with this technology is a challenge for all of us. Teaching is about challenges and New Zealand ’ s lifelong learners are worth the effort that will be needed to keep up with the rest of the world through technology. Rimaati Junior Teao Teacher.
