Teaching as Inquiry 2014

Teaching as Inquiry 2014
After looking at my classroom data, attending a P.D. session with Charlotte Wilkinson and with consideration of school goals I have decided to focus on the following inquiry question.
1. How can the targeted use of e-learning/I.T. tools improve basic number fact retention?
Associated with this question will be a consideration to the effectiveness of home/school communication with regard to homework.
I will be working on this inquiry in conjunction with Gareth who has similar interests.
Target Group
While the whole class will be involved with teaching  associated with this inquiry a target group for more in depth assessment has been selected.
They are: Alexa Harvey, Corey-James Davidson, Michael Putt, Riley Dickenson, Danielle Harlick and Luke Gardner

These children were selected after analysing IKAN and my own number knowledge testing data. Access to the internet at home was also a consideration.
