The governments vision

1
The governments vision

• My vision is one where schools are confidently,
  successfully and routinely exploiting ICT By
  doing so they will be delivering an education
  that equips learners for life in the Information
  Age of the 21st century.
• ICT can make a significant contribution to
  teaching and learning at all stages and across
  all areas of the curriculum. ICT should be
  embedded in all our education institutions and in
  the teaching that takes place there
• Rt Hon Charles Clarke, MP, former Secretary of
  State for Education and Skills, June 2003

Why do schools use ICT?

• Extending learning
• Enriching the curriculum
• Expanding learning horizons
• Helping with assessment

• I was nervous about working with ICT as I
  thought it would change the way I work with
  pupils. I soon found there was nothing to worry
  about. In fact, I found that the support I was
  able to give to help them learn in the subjects I
  was working with was better than without the use
  of ICT

Supporting the use of ICT resources

• Helping students make best use of ICT
• Using ICT to enhance teaching and learning across
  the curriculum
• Giving students access to the curriculum through
  ICT

• I support in PE and I set up the ICT equipment
  while the pupils are getting changed so the
  lesson starts smoothly
• One of the things I now do as a matter of
  course is check that all the printers are working
  before the lesson, then I can get the technician
  to sort out any problems before the pupils need
  the equipment

• I was surprised at how confident most pupils
  were when they were using ICT. They had already
  learnt how to use the computers in their ICT
  lessons
