The session(s) you found to have the least impact on you.
- High degrees
- 1st afternoon's technical disaster (got going at home in the
evening)
- Nil.
- Day 1 pm - frustratingly slow accessing site.
- I didn't win the computer.
- NETg.
- The session containing the role-played "in that meeting" had
its uses, but was not really relevant to the manner in which
we would carry out there in that meetings. This would not
allow individual with meetings and follow up.
- The initial meeting - too open ended & too much like SRD.
- Talk about the different qualifications as it was already
available on paper.
- Information about the Master Degree.
- Online session - obvious reason!
- Talk "at" session on 1st morning Practical is always better.
- Details about Masters.
- Tuesday morning - too much talk, hard to see the point of
much of it.
- Online speed accessing ttalit.ao.uk
- Students' certification.
- The ITCC information seemed a little irrelevant.
- This is a separate scheme and only confused us.
- Long morning session going through whole package.
- Understand its necessary but session was too long.
- Should have checked we could all log in etc when using the
icttg program.
- Maybe day 1 session 3 should have been before session 2.
Teacher certificate & higher levels.
- Opening session; necessary bit but too long?
- Hands-on session ICAA.

- Online link to ICAA course (mainly coz speed).
- Using the online link to ICAA - technical problem!

outlined here sufficiently- need to know why we're doing it
before how programme will help achieve this.
- AM (Tuesday)!
- None.
- The beer advert.
- Hands on the software.
- Day 1 (mainly because I was unsure of what requirements for
training/certification were).
- Hands on session pm day one.

- 1st day, final session - can't remember it.
- 1st day last session.
- Last session before question & answer - day 1.
- The session where we were informed of how we can work towards
accreditation for MA at university of Southampton. Really

- "playing" with course on-line.
- The initial presentation session on Tues morning.

What do you think should be included on the 26th May 2000 INSET?

(including funding resourcing etc.)
- Wider range of NETg will be very welcome!
- Review the progress.
- Examples of work submitted (public sector).
- Clarify - forward please.
- Depends how different schools go immediately forward.
Perhaps better discussed at PICTT & SICTT.
- A clearer picture should by then of emerged eg. base of
teacher/pupil skills, ICT in the curri. ESF view,
assessment etc. these need to be included.
- Review of progress at the S. assessors through their am
training programmes.
- Update on project, especially ESF hiding arrangements.
- More support materials like the NETg CD.

- Report back from schools on progress, what has worked and
what has not.
- More information regarding certification - how, when, what.
- Group discussion on results from other schools.
- Feedback from schools - what they have done so far (mini
power point presentations) examples from teachers of how
they have integrated ICT into lessons. A chance to plan the
next stage as a school.

- Looking at schemes of work for my subject area and
considering ICT potential.
- Looking at schemes at work for one other subject area and
considering ICT potential.
- Time for colleagues to plan further, share ideas with other
colleagues from other schools.
Any other points you wish to make about the course would be valued.
- Great chance for networking, & for the school team to
brainstorm & action-plan.
- Support staff in the office will be interested in NETg too!!
- As you named - a little mind boggling. Liz & Eliz did well &
were realistic - good luck to them trying to 'convert' HK.
- The whole programme for a primary mainscale is daunting. We
have to make it teacher friendly. The cost is also daunting
for a school to fund.
- However, a good kick start & motivator for our ICT initiative
in schools. We will start in Sept.
- Generally very informative. Quite a lot of demonstration
more than I would ideally like, but it was very well done, at
least. The information regarding ESF not hiding other staff
members this year had a big impact on our original planning
and should have been given earlier.
- I think the course was back to front. The ICT needs
identification sheet should have been given out on the first
day.
- The course was confusing and not focussed. The ICCT stuff
should have come first then the information about classroom
work. More precise and clear information would have helped.
- Lot of direct questions not answered.
- Didn't think that the course covered a logical progression.
i.e. 2nd days 2nd session should have come 1st.
- The ICAA women were informed and interesting should have had
more of them.
- A less woolly day - i.e. no need for 30 mins coffee 1 hour 15
minutes lunch.
- Less waffle from presenters and more explanations
esp. from Chris Smith.
- In future planning - attempt to shorten the coffee & lunch
breaks.
- Interesting & well presented - just a lot of information!
- More group discussion.
- I still don't know how to get the certificate is there one?
What do I talk to colleagues about! It is all rather
confusing - too many schemes - I like to have more structure.
I think we should have to produce evidence and send it away.
I am worried that many teachers won't do this!
- Has given me a lot to think about. I feel very ready &
motivated to go and try and learn & then while learning apply
to my class.
- However, right after the "initial meeting" observation felt
overwhelmed. How could I support someone else right away
before I even get started and try it out.
- Can you make it less confusing?
- Acoustics; often difficult to hear.
- Lack of real clarity about ESF's involvement with the
initiative.
- I found it stimulating and worrying(!) - so much to learn! I
enjoyed the 'funniest' - very important when you're sitting
down for so long.
- Breaks were larger than needed (coffee breaks & lunch).
- Provide us with disks well in advance - do we need to work
through them during an INSET day or could this time have been
spent more productively.
- I understand about putting answers online. But very often I
want answer there and then.
- Too much sitting and listening.
- Practical sessions group discussions much better for bouncing
ideas off others - furthering understanding.
- Terminology + level of IT skills needed may be offputting ..
pre training/familiarisation?
- I think day 1 and day 2 should have been reversed.
- The sessions using the materials CD-ROMs & internet; required
more guidance and assistance.
- The ICTT materials will need to be modified for use on Hong
Kong.
- Lunch break on the first day was far too long. Would have
preferred 30 - 40 minutes and to finish earlier.
- When questions were added from the 'floor' it was not always
possible to hear what was being said - on the second day
however, the person with the mic did repeat the question.
- Clearer aims/targets for 2 days.
- Introduction of programme should be simplified to enable
people to 'come to grips' with the whole/overall aim. Having
a 10 minute overview at the start would have eliminated the
confusion overwhelming feeling sensed at the start of the
course ( & did not subside until the middle session on the
2nd day) the materials look fantastic & deserve to be
presented in a more powerful, punchy way!!!
