Thanks to the ICT Team

A big team is needed to get a school off the technological launch pad. Halinda SSP would like to thank the Tech Services and Support team that helped get us up and running on our whole school server, reimaged our harware and provided tailoring to our needs as matters arose. Thanks to Adrian, Michael, Antonio and Ken all of whom did a fine job with the magic smoke that is technology. A good IT team is a boon for educators. We thank and appreciate you.

TALE

TALE is an education portal offering quality resources for teachers, parents and the community. As a participant in the Western Sydney Region Action Research project into Whiteboards Halinda played host to a talk by Jane Hunter covering the use of technology in teaching and learning, research findings and the joys of TALE.

Accessesing Technology



Interactive whiteboards can be lowered and made accessible for students with a wide range of needs. Bradley can reach the board and use the stylus from his wheelchair easily.

"Watch this!" he says.

Class is In !

Pick a box


Issaac can find and show who is in class using his visual class roll. He chooses his image and answers the question
'Who is here today ?' by placing his photo in the YES box.
