The National Perspective• The Background

• The creation

• The online tool

• The national standard


Where are we withWhere are we with ICT?ICT?

The gap between the best and the worst is unacceptably wide and

increasing.

In the most outstanding examples, ICT is starting to have a pervasive impact on the way teachers teach

and children learn.

As yet the government’s aim for ICT to become embedded in the work of schools is a reality in only a small

minority.

Wouldn’t it be good to agree…

What ‘good’ looks like

– in key areas of development– using a common language across

partners– with a wider range of shared resources– illustrated with exemplars and case

studies– with effective self-review tools– allowing clear progression– supporting action planning for the future

Concentrating on outcomes for learners

• greater choice and opportunity for learning

• learners to be better motivated, involved and engaged in their learning

• to help every child, young person and adult learner to have even greater success and achievement

• learning to be more exciting, relevant and fun

• and we want learning online to be safe and secure

“…take the discussion out of the technology world and place it

firmly in the world of learners and learning”

• Art we aware of pupils’ and families’ access to ICT and seeks opportunities to provide alternative access?

• Are we aware of the communities ICT needs and is seeking to involve external partners?

• What use do our pupils presently make of ICT at home?


Awareness and Understanding:
