| Welcome. Let's answer some questions. Can technology and innovation help the 'business' of schools? Everybody is talking about how technology can help learners learn and help teachers teach. | |
But can new tools and new ideas help schools run their organisations better? Can it make teachers happier in their work? Can it make life easier for students?
We are focussing primarily on primary, secondary and further education, although we will certainly look at higher education as well.
We think the answers to this question (and yes, we expect more than one answer) will break into certain categories.
1. Areas where schools definitely need help.
2. Technology that might be used to help schools
3. Innovations already being used in schools that we should look at for wider application.
4. Different ideas about how to run organisations that might benefit schools.
We will be posting the findings of research we are conducting on this wiki. But we do need your help. Register and put your knowledge and experience up here--catch our mistakes, correct any mistaken assumptions we might make.
This wiki is part of our deliverable to Becta. It will be used to help inform government policy regarding the use of technology in education. A lot is at stake here. Let's get it right.
