Each school using EduKite has a member of staff who acts as a mentor and facilitator. This person (the Kite-Master) oversees the EduKite trial and helps staff start to use EduKite. The Kite-Master can be any member of staff.

here's what the kite-master does :

+ to act as a contact point between EduKite and your school

+ to oversee the set-up process in the trial classes

+ to act as the contact point for teachers using the system in the school

+ to pass on to EduKite any comments by parents, staff or students

+ to assist any staff who may need help

+ to re-set passwords for users of EduKite in the school who have forgotten their password

Functions such as reflections and special tasks require a slightly higher level of understanding than managing notices and homework items. The Kite-Master should be prepared to dig a little deeper into the system so that she can assist colleagues.

We'll help you bring e-learning to your school - just follow these steps and we'll soon have you flying.
