This report begins with a really thoughtful analysis of what has been occurring and achieved over the past three years through the period of school closures etc. The reflections on this, and referencing of insights from research are used to inform subsequent design in a really coherent way.

The two foci are well described and will resonate with other educators. The challenge of involving parents/whānau is addressed through the use of a variety of online technologies, and Pete identifies some of the changes in pedagogy that emerged as a result of the affordances of these technologies. Central to this was the increased level of learner agency and control of their learning - with the support of parents/whānau.

The second task of creating a booking system to access specialist PE equipment is an exciting innovation that could have application across a wide range of areas. Pete has illustrated the process he is going through to prototype the concept of a borrowing system, which will provide valuable insights for the eventual development of an online system into the future.

While it’s still early days with the trialing of a prototype, the initial feedback from learners appears positive. This project is a good illustration of an approach intended to address a significant issue for many of the practical subjects being taught, where specialised equipment is required in order to complete activities.
