Learning Intentions
To explain our vision for integrating ICT meaningfully into the curriculum and to consider how it can be used to support learning
and teaching.
To begin to engender your own vision for embedding ICT within your own institutions.
The school is located in an area of socio-economic disadvantage. Whilst almost half of pupils are of white British origin, a very high proportion are from ethnic minority backgrounds. Forty per cent are at an early stage of learning English and their main languages are Urdu, Punjabi and Albanian. The percentage with special educational needs is above average. Attainment on admission is well below average. The school is involved in initiatives in information and communication technology (ICT) and the Foundation Stage.
The graphics tablet develops oracy as well as fine motor skills.
Using the WCITT to ‘enrich’ & inspire…pictures, video or sound!

The Ripple Infants KS1 ‘Model’
Opportunities to incorporate ICT throughout lessons:
1. Teaching & Guided Practice Segment:• As a Teaching Aid – a resource to support direct teaching.
2. Child Consolidation Segment:• Directly completing an ICT-based Activity – if it directly consolidates
the learning intention for that lesson.• Providing an activity which consolidates that lesson’s learning
intention, whilst at the same time, Combining ICT-skills linked to that week’s ICT lesson.
Adapt lesson plans to incorporate ICT during Teaching Segment

Group Activity 1(supported write)
Group Activity 2(guided write)
Group Activity 3(independent

Group/Activity 4 – ICT Based
ICT:I will insert pictures into word documents.
History:I can describe an old toy.
In this example, skills taught within ICT lessons are being integrated within a History
lesson.

ICT:I can attach a document to an e-mail.
Science:I can name healthy foods.

Year One Weekly Planning Over View
Where practical, the weekly ICT skill is taught on Monday and then this skill is consolidated within the consolidation elements of other subjects (where
appropriate).

ICT within Teaching & Guided Practice Segment of Lessons
The advantages:
• Greater participation – the “wow factor”.• Allow teachers to model key concepts clearly.• Greater interaction – improved pace.• Clarity through video (EAL children).• Children will model, demonstrate & explain key concepts to each
other.• Improved oracy.• Tool for reinforcement.• Good opportunity for formative assessment.• Increased self-esteem.• Children listen carefully to each other!
• ICT skills are raised.
This pedagogy is incorporated within our Learning & Teaching Policy:
– the visualiser,– the PC,– WCITT (whole class interactive teaching technology – e.g. Graphics Tablets/Activ-Slate
etc),• children modelling & demonstrating key concepts to others, using:
– the visualiser,– the PC,– WCITT (whole class interactive teaching technology – e.g. Graphics Tablets/Activ-Slate
etc).
ICT within Teaching & Guided Practice Segment of Lessons
Consolidating with ICT in every lesson
The advantages:
• The only manageable way to give children the opportunity to consolidate ICT skills taught during ICT lessons (without an ICT suite).
• It is more meaningful to consolidate ICT skills within a context.• Stops ICT being an isolated stand-alone subject.• Greater participation.• Subject-specific skills are acquired much quicker.• Increased Motivation & Behaviour.• An opportunity for discussion.• Children listen to each other! - improved oracy.• Develops Social Skills and increases Self-esteem.• Ofsted – ‘value for money’.
It fulfils our obligation to teach ICT skills from within the ICT Scheme of Work and provide children with opportunities to consolidate these skills.
This pedagogy is incorporated within our Learning & Teaching Policy:
Consolidation Activity
well-selected, meaningful activities, enabling children to consolidate the intended learning points as effectively as possible;
children using ICT:o to consolidate learning linked directly to the learning intention for that
lesson;o to consolidate learning linked to the learning intention for that lesson,
whilst at the same time revising key skills from within the ICT Scheme of Work and associated minimum standard documents (where appropriate).

Challenges
1. Acquiring the Vision.2. Instilling ownership in staff / disseminating the vision.3. Providing a structure for staff to follow (systematically).4. Monitoring recording progress on planning.5. Change of management.6. Getting the cynics ‘on board’ – why should we change?7. “What’s in it for me?” (wifms)8. Equipment working?9. Money/sustainability?10. Knowing when NOT to use ICT.
Leadership Style - reflection
1. Engendering Ownership.
2. Reflecting on the application of the Hay Leadership styles (visionary, pace-setting, democratic, co-ercive, affiliative, coaching).
5. Giving staff the opportunity to embark on “personalised tangents” (“when you’re doing things you love, your enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment all increase”).
