A fantastic idea Bronwen that once again highlights the flexible delivery of services for LAMS. Not quite a 'from the beach' story but one that highlights the use of LAMS as an effective way to deliver staff training and development:
This week Debbie and I developed LAMS sequences for our staff training and development to survey staff on effective use of technology within our school as well as a tool to collect and collate all the survey information we need for our Annual School Report. Although most staff were present a few who were unable to attend completed the sequences from the comfort of their home and one staff memeber who needed to leave early to pick up her children was also able to complete the sequences while enjoying a glass of red once the kids were in bed! By close of business next day Debbie and I had all the data collected, graphed and ready to put into our Annual School Report - how cool is that. DET currently use pen and paper surveys to collect ASR data and then some poor person has to spend hours on data entry. No guesses as to who the poor persons might be. Debbie and I are now able to enjoy our holidays and have parent and student ASR surveys ready to run day one next term. We keep on finding more and more ways to use LAMS and the whole Manly Cafe things sounds right up my alley.
