Observation & implementation Seeking advice from colleagues –be

selective, observe colleagues and prioritise ideas to implement.

Experts – students and teachers, observe and take notes/images/film.

Choose ICT goal, activity and purpose. Implement 1 goal, tool and activity at a time It’s a fluid process: Reflect – amend if needed- embody – build-reflect
