Edukite is an eportfolio tool, also referred to as an LMS. It is available for both early childhood and primary. Most organisations begin with a one or two class pilot.

Professional development is integral to the success of an initiative such as Edukite. The level of professional development that you will require from Breathe Technology will vary from school to school depending on the amount of responsibility and release time the Kitemaster is given to support other staff. The programme detailed below should be viewed as a number of building blocks and it is up to each individual school to identify, in conjunction with ourselves or Sitech Systems, exactly how much support they will require to ensure Edukite is used to its full potential. Refreshers are also available for new staff and students.
