1 Developing a coherent ICT strategy for your school Amanda Jackson Inspector, Standards & Effectiveness, Computing & ICT Havering School Improvement Services

2 Investigate what technology you should invest in and the type of infrastructure to support it. Where are the pedagogical shifts?

3 "If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow." - John Dewey philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer

4 What will the classroom of 2014 look like? Tablets Laptops Desktops Handheld devices/phones BYOD Raspberry Pi Infrastructure???

5 What do you want to achieve? Using ICT to: Improve teaching & learning Support learning in and out of school Offer a range of choice and access Opportunity for disadvantaged Flexible working Manage data and improve efficiency

6 Planning Vision where do I start? - Vision should support the strategic aims of the school

7 The importance of planning and Who will be using it? seeking opinion What will they be using it for? What is most important? Battery life, access to applications/software, media (camera, sound, etc). Rank them in order of priority and decide on any non-negotiables before talking to suppliers Avoid technical terms and talk in functional language. I want to be able to use it on the football pitch to record...

8 Planning functional specification DfE - Buying specific goods & services: Developing an ICT infrastructure - Functional requirements for ICT services /buying/ict/developing-an-ict-infrastructure As it is functional it doesn t date like the technology does

9 Planning What do I need to Reliability consider? Coherence consider differing needs of teachers and learners as well as existing equipment Accessibility Affordability and sustainability

10 Tablets Which tablet? Practical things to consider: insurance, cases, safety, storage, link to display/iwb, saving work

11 Pedagogical Shift Teacher expertise and knowledge will determine how quickly they can embrace pedagogical change. Change may take some time, as teachers understand the potentials of the technology and teaching and learning. Teachers should aim, over time, to implement strategies that will enrich or transform traditional classroom practices.

12 Pedagogical Shift mobile devices enable students into enquiry based, experimental and knowledge building learning. Will this affect how the teacher plans lessons, their role in the lesson?

13 People where are the pedagogical shifts? Training and familiarity is vital to the success of any changes Cost this in with any purchases It is hard to predict how everyone will use new technology, if they cannot use it the way they want, then may bypass or ignore - change management issues

14 Infrastructure It is important to have a network that is reliable to support rapid growth of devices Must be robust Consider an ICT healthcheck

15 Cloud Flexible Not tied to out of date infrastructure/software Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

16 Infrastructure for the new Computing Some suggestions here: Curriculum CASInfrastructure.pdf E.G. how to cope with different network configurations required for teaching CS. Conflict between teacher and technical team.

17 Evaluation Will you use a pilot phase to trial any new equipment? Give them to a few teachers and pupils to try out. ICT Champions. How will you measure success?
