Why improve your ICT facilities

Research commissioned by BECTA shows that the effective use of ICT enhances all aspects of teaching and learning. The research highlighted a strong relationship between ICT best practice in key subjects, such as mathematics, English and science, and improvement in pupils' results.

"...Children cannot be effective in tomorrow's world if they are trained in yesterday's skills. Nor should teachers be denied the tools that other professionals take for granted..."
Tony Blair

For Pupils

Computers are an aspect of everyday life. Therefore pupils must be confident in their use.

ICT enhances the teaching of all subjects across the curriculum by:-

• Providing a limitless range of information for all key stage 1, 2 and 3 subjects through the Internet.
• Bring subjects to life through interaction with projected images and videos.
• Improving investigative skills in mathematics, geography, science etc.
• Enabling the creative communication of ideas and information in a variety of forms including reports, presentations, graphs, videos and posters.
• Motivating pupils through educational computer exercises - even mathematics!
• Interpreting data, using a range of tools in mathematics, history, geography and science.
• Communicating and interacting with schools worldwide, via email, to exchange information about different cultures and countries.

For Teachers

Teachers now use ICT intuitively across all subjects. They can:-

• Engage even the most reluctant pupil in subjects such as mathematics, using different media, including problem solving software, presentations, videos, and interactive whiteboards to bring the subject to life.
• Tailor lessons to particular pupils using different levels of software adjusted to completely engage them.
• Use the technology to adjust the structure of the class into workgroups.
• Plan their lessons outside of school, e.g. on their laptops, and then store these plans on a central server for future retrieval.
• Share ideas and presentations with their colleagues by storing their work centrally.
• Work from home, remotely accessing applications, files and data from the central server.

The School - Virtuous circle

Having fully integrated and high quality ICT facilities in the school helps provide:

• More pupils - parents opt for schools with good facilities.
• Self-esteem - pupils take pride in the school when learning in a superior environment and so show greater respect for equipment.
• Improved results - research has demonstrated that pupils perform better at schools where ICT is used effectively across the Curriculum.
• Contented staff - by assisting in workplace reform, ICT allows teachers more time to teach.
