A well structured continuing professional development program for your school will ensure that your staff are continually kept up to date, especially in the rapidly changing world of ICT. The heavy investment that schools make in ICT equipment is another driving factor in ensuring that the equipment is continually and crucially, effectively used. Staff turn-over also presents performance issues for a school. How do you get new staff up to speed with the organisational systems or your work place? In addition, the performance dip as a result of key staff leaving a school and the resultant loss of intellectual property can take years to recover from. A school can guard against under utilised resources and staff performance dips by having the right training strategies and support resources in place which are regularly updated.

At dakinane we offer a range of ICT PD options to cover such training needs. We offer onsite workshops and facilitation services for groups and individuals to integrate ICTs into their existing class programmes. We also create training resources in a variety of formats, tailored specifically to reflect the organisational structure of individual schools. We offer induction programmes that train new staff how to use specific IT resources and familiarise the new staff with the network infrastructure of your site, to ensure minimum performance lag. These resources can be created in differing formats that can be stored locally on your intranet as a self paced learning resource. We can create resources that capture specific skills from key staff to protect your intellectual property, again minimising the impact from the loss of their skills once they leave your school.

The video below is an example of the kind of training resource that we can produce. As this tutorial is in a public location the visual quality is low ordinarily the quality would be much greater.
