Comments by Jenny McGill
I have found working with Cliff Harwood, absolutely invaluable. He has provided guidance and support for my teaching which has made a huge difference to my knowledge and practice. I have a much clearer understanding of Technology and greater confidence to teach this. It is challenging to make Technology real and understandable for junior children. Cliff has helped this happen for me. What a fantastic person to have in "Technology" learning. Anne Radford* has also been superb in supporting technology teaching, guidance and knowledge; and also a valuable person in promoting technology. The unit was very successful with the children who several months later still know what a "system" is and how they are used.
* Anne Radford is a Technology and Science Adviser who is employed by Massey University and is based in Taranaki (although she works outside of this region also). Anne is an extremely knowledgeable person and works in schools alongside teachers and children. She has an extremely good rapport with schools and is highly regarded.
