The elements of a successful Digital Strategy

A digital vision in a sentence…
A school where every pupil and every teacher has access to the most effective technology tools, whenever they are the best way of learning or teaching
3
A school where no one talks about technology anymore
Focus on learning
4
Leadership at all levels

CPD… training, coaching, support, challenge“Even the best technology cannot transcend poor teaching. It will still be poor teaching, just faintly lit by blinking blue LEDs”

And now a short intermission…

What should be the strategy for ensuring ‘every pupil and every teacher has access to the most effective technology tools, whenever they are the best way of learning or teaching’?
And now a short intermission…(2)
8
By when will you have made the transition from technology being something that you ‘do’ to something that transparently suffuses learning?
Infrastructure
9
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat”
The era of ubiquitous, vampiric devices is utterly different from anything a school has previously experienced
• £200k-£300k?
• Passive & Active
• Wireless
• Broadband
• Audio Visual integration

10
Cut the cord, remove the barrier
Mirroring changes the dynamic
Streaming solution + big dumb TV = participative, democratic, engaged learning
Ecosystem
11
An ecosystem that dissolves barriers between school and not-school and supports in a frictionless manner the core processes of learning - course content, communication, assessment loops - and which makes device irrelevant.
• Files -> Cloud
• Workflow
• Future proof
• BYOB-ready
• Functionality v. cost of change
Transparent
Frictionless
Device agnostic

Email, calendar, unlimited storage, productivity suiteBrowser based, apps availableFree (kinda)OneNote & SharePoint workflow options
Email, calendar, unlimited storage, productivity suiteBrowser based, apps availableFree (at the point of use)‘Google Classroom’ workflow
Devices: we still need to provide them, for now
13
Bandwagon?
Standardise at the level of ecosystem & connectivity
Different devices suit different modalities & ages
Now: £100 per pupil per year
