Technologies

Challenges – where are we now? • Are our teachers going into every lesson

asking how can I improve this lesson?• When will we be able to deliver the curriculum

through intensive use of ICT?• How can we ensure that students have the

best learning technologies?• How can we achieve connectivity through a

Virtual Learning Environment connection in every home?

• How can we use Web Based MIS/sync. to ensure that we reduce the administrative burden on teachers?

Challenges – where are we now?

• Do we have a conceptual view of how students learn?

• To what extent do our teachers look at and research Web sites to do with brain function and pedagogy?

• Are we organising our schools/colleges based on how students learn or are we simply replicating the past?

• Are we ensuring that our children have the opportunity to develop their ‘creative’ skills?

Challenges – where are we now?• How can we stop teachers leaving the profession and

recruit and retain new teachers?• How can we link all our staff through real-time

information systems?• How can we change the community’s view of

education?• Are we ensuring that students are developing a

portfolio of personalised competencies?• Are we offering students the most up to date low risk

365 X 24 learning?• How can we make the best use of the resources we

have?• Are we developing our Digital Nervous System?
