It’s an exciting time in Pond and we’re pleased to announce two major developments to help Pond become an integral part of teacher planning. Pond is now open to all educators working in NZ schools, and we’ve also recently introduced our new Make a Splash programme – a self manage programme to introduce school departments, faculties or whole staff to what Pond can offer. It’s effectively a scaffolded and wholesale way to get your school staff into Pond, just in time for planning for 2015!
Pond Open to All Educators
If you’re a teacher who’s been waiting for an opportunity to get into Pond, all you need now is an Education Sector Logon with specific Pond entitlement. If you have access to e-asTTle, you’ll probably already have the right entitlements to jump straight into Pond. If you’re unsure what entitlements you have or need to set up a new Education Sector Logon account please contact the Ministry of Education Service Desk by calling 0800 422 599 or emailing [email protected].
Make a Splash Programme
- Get all staff in Pond at once
- A quick and easy programme to follow
- Track how your staff are doing and lend a hand when needed
If you’re a teacher or school leader interested in getting part or all of your school into Pond and participating in a directed activity-based programme designed to steadily integrate and teach you about the possibilities of Pond, register for Make a Splash here (editor note 21 jan 2016: link removed as programme no longer available) . The programme is designed to follow a ‘light touch’ approach which doesn’t demand much of your time at all but allows you to monitor how your staff are going in Pond so that you can appropriately support them while giving them all of the skills they need to discover inspiration and thrive in Pond.
As the community grows we hope you’ll be part of it – jump in!
