 * Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Primary School ICT Journey:

**


 * Classroom Evidence of Key Competencies / Thinking Hats / ICT Ideas in action:**

One of our teachers here using the idea of Graffiti walls in her classroom with felt pens hanging around the walls. Students may write either a 'wondering' (inquiry) or a 'warm fuzzy' (values) or a wise saying (see below). This wall allows our students to think freely and openly about current topics either in class or in the child's home life. || De Bono's hats are displayed in all classrooms. These are used a lot by all teachers in all learning areas. This term we also decided to try to capture where the students' understanding was by assessing them using Solo taxonomy and comic life. (see below). ||

Our Junior teacher here utilising the K.W.L chart for her class Water study. Even at the New Entrant and Year 1 stage, teachers are amazed at what the children 'think' about wanting to learn. This is just one of the many Graphic Organisers that our teachers have tried throughout the past two years. ||



[Above] Students here used SOLO Taxonomy to assess their level of understanding of De Bono's Thinking Hats. The activity above was the context within which they were asked to utilise the Thinking Hats. This way teachers can re-do the activity using a different 'motivating' 'interesting' image. ||
