•Did You Know? Video


Evolution of IT in UK Schools


• 1 ICT Suite• Some classrooms with 2 PCs – Not

networked• No Interactive Whiteboards in

classrooms• No teacher computer• No wireless network• A few laptops teachers could borrow


How IT has evolved in UK Schools over the last 10 years?


10 Years Ago


• 1 or 2 ICT Suites• 1 or 2 Smart Boards• Every teacher given a laptop


5 Years Ago


• 4 ICT Suites• Smart Boards in 60% of classrooms• Every classroom had a ‘teacher’ PC• Every teacher had a laptop


2 Years Ago


• Bigger mix of technology• Thin Clients• Laptops• Apple Mac• Games Consoles• Web 2.0 – Twitter, Facebook, Blogs,

Wikis, Collaboration Tools

Media & InternetHow Teenagers Consume Media

By Matthew Robson (Aged 15 yrs & 7 months)


How Teenagers Consume Media

Radio• Most teenagers nowadays are not regular listeners to

radio.• Prefer to stream music for free.• Services such as last.fm and Spotify do this advert free• Users can choose the songs they want instead of listening

to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses.


Music has become an ‘on demand’ service



Television• Points in the year where they watch more than average. Due

to programs coming on in seasons but then they may watch no television for weeks after.

• Teenage boys (generally) watch more TV when it is the football season

• Teenagers are watching less because of online streaming & Sky+/PVR technology


Television has become an ‘on demand’ service



Newspapers• Teenagers rarely buy a newspaper• “Why bother when you can stream

it or read it on the Internet?”


News has become an ‘on demand’ service



Telephone Directories & Dictionaries• Teenagers don’t use

them.......WHY?


Information has become an ‘on demand’ service


Can education be provided as an ‘on demand’ service?


Education as an ‘on demand’ service?

• Learning out of school hours• Extend Learning• Personalise Learning


As a department identify the types of things

learners currently use ICT for (Identify specific

examples)

As a department identify your aspirations for what you would like learners to

be using ICT for (try to come up with specific

examples)

Activity 1: How do Learners use ICT in your area?

Roles:


Volunteer areas to share some current ideas and some aspirations for using ICT

OFSTED Say all schools should make…

“ICT readily accessible to students in their classrooms sothat it can be used to improve learning in other

subjects.”

Information and communication technology in primary and secondary schools,2005/2008

What do OFSTED Say about ICT?


OFSTED found that sometimes…

“pupils’ ICT capability was so good that it outstripped their teachers’ subject knowledge and, as a result, their good progress was not sustained”.

Information and communication technology in primary and secondary schools,2005/2008

What do OFSTED Say about ICT?


• Effectiveness of Safeguarding procedures• Quality of teaching and assessment to support learning.• The extent to which pupils develop workplace and other

skills that will contribute to their future economic well-being.

• The effectiveness of leadership and management of the sixth form

• The extent to which the curriculum meets pupils’ needs, including, where relevant, through partnerships

ICT / New Technologies and new Framework


Quality of teaching and assessment to support learning:

“appropriate use of new technology maximises learning”

Pg 31 , Ofsted Evaluation Schedule

ICT and new Framework


Satisfactory Descriptor...

Teaching may be good in some respects and there are no endemic inadequacies in particular subjects or across year groups. Pupils show interest in their work and are making progress that is broadly in line with their capabilities. Teachers’ subject knowledge is secure. Adequate use is made of a range of resources, including new technology, to support learning. Support provided by other adults is effectively deployed. Teaching ensures that pupils are generally engaged by their work and little time is wasted. Regular and accurate assessment informs planning, which generally meets the needs of all groups of pupils. Pupils are informed about their progress and how to improve through marking and dialogue with adults. Teachers monitor pupils’ work during lessons, pick up general misconceptions and adjust their plans accordingly to support learning.

ICT and Quality of teaching


Good Descriptor...

The teaching is consistently effective in ensuring that pupils are motivated and engaged. The great majority of teaching is securing good progress and learning. Teachers generally have strong subject knowledge which enthuses and challenges most pupils and contributes to their good progress. Good and imaginative use is made of resources, including new technology to enhance learning. Other adults’ support is well focused and makes a significant contribution to the quality of learning. As a result of good assessment procedures, teachers and other adults plan well to meet the needs of all pupils. Pupils are provided with detailed feedback, both orally and through marking. They know how well they have done and can discuss what they need to do to sustain good progress. Teachers listen to, observe and question groups of pupils during lessons in order to reshape tasks and explanations to improve learning.



Outstanding Descriptor...

Teaching is at least good and much is outstanding, with the result that the pupils are making exceptional progress. It is highly effective in inspiring pupils and ensuring that they learn extremely well. Excellent subject knowledge is applied consistently to challenge and inspire pupils. Resources, including new technology, make a marked contribution to the quality of learning, as does the precisely targeted support provided by other adults. Teachers and other adults are acutely aware of their pupils’ capabilities and of their prior learning and understanding, and plan very effectively to build on these. Marking and dialogue between teachers, other adults and pupils are consistently of a very high quality. Pupils understand in detail how to improve their work and are consistently supported in doing so. Teachers systematically and effectively check pupils’ understanding throughout lessons, anticipating where they may need to intervene and doing so with striking impact on the quality of learning.

Areas to consider:• Identify how as an area you will use the Learning Gateway

(homework, extended learning, classwork, display good work)

• List the sections you would like and what would go on them (KS3, Topics, Good work)

• Clear explanation of the colours and style of areaOutline plan• On the back outline very simply what you would like a page

to look at.

Challenge: Planning a learning Gateway


It is estimated that 77% of the workforce now use information technology (IT) in their job and the demand for such skills is likely to continue to increase.

Technology counts: IT and telecoms insights 2008, e-skills UK, 2008

Why is ICT important for the learners?


“New Technologies have the capacity to provide a deeper experience of school that is more engaging and that helps students towards deeper learning”.

Deep Experience – 1, David H Hargreaves 2006

Why is ICT important for the learners?


What happens next?

• Plans will be implemented by Christmas• PLC: 2nd Feb – Populating the learning Gateway• PLC: 2nd March – Sharing practice• PLC: 27th April - ICT for learning• PLC: 11th April - ICT for learning• PLC: 25th May– ICT for learning
