Raising AchievementUsing ICT

ICT allow teachers to present

information in new and exciting

formats.

It encourages even experienced staff to experiment with new teaching styles and share good practice.

Packages like PowerPoint allow

teachers to animate pictures, diagrams,

photographs, maps & even mark schemes.

Pupils of all abilities, especially boys, find the

visual nature of PowerPoint a lot more

accessible.

It gives pupils access to teaching materials

that would be normally far too expensive to

reproduce.

The media effects can help to add

pace, style and fun into a lesson.

Data projectors & PowerPoint

are tailor made for allowing students to

develop their oracy & literacy

skills.

Broadband access and interactive whiteboards

can bring CD ROMs and revision websites to life.
