Developing a vision for whole-school ICT
9 Feb
My team is currently developing our vision for what ICT should look like at our school. It’s shaping up as follows:
Our school will provide a technology enriched interactive environment which acts as a hub for lifelong learning in our community. Learning will be high quality, engaging and aspirational, and will prepare learners for economic well-being in the 21st century.Connectivity
Every learning space has reliable internet and network access.
Interactivity
Enhanced learning technology is available in learning spaces to enable learners to take an interactive role in their learning.
Community
Our school becomes a hub for high quality e-learning in the community.
Capability
Learners and teachers are empowered with skills and understanding to thrive in an interactive and information-rich learning environment.
Hi Laura
This is a start. Not easy though. We are reviewing our ICT across the curriculum strategy at the moment as well. It gets very difficult when you get to the detail. Training in particular takes a long time to do, never mind plan.
I will be interested to see how your team devises methods and goals for training. Pupils will follow the lead but how do you get teachers to make that lead? VLE? Web2.0 tools? I’ve been having some interesting discussions recently with Futurelab and others about how to get teachers to identify what they would like to improve in their school and addressing these issues using ICT. The aim being to capture internal motivation of teachers. Not easy and different for everyone – the real nub of personalised learning is how to personalise oit for teachers as well as pupils.
Hi Laura. read article about you and Twitter in Education Guardian. Don’t laugh but I’m descended from Doggetts of Fulham. Couldn’t resist . Where do you come from? Are we originally Irish, etc. etc.etc.
