technology or pedagogic practice
Presentation slides
Handout750 words
Seminar
• The complete seminar should last no more than 30 minutes. You will be allocated a date for your seminar, which will form part of that week’s lecture. Other ICT specialist students and tutors are invited to attend these seminars. (25%)
• A revised version of any presentation slides are uploaded to Moodle at the conclusion of the modules. (10%)
• You should also create up to 750 words of notes as a handout to accompany your presentation. A revised version of this should be uploaded to Moodle at the conclusion of the module. (15%)
Policy
A school ICT policy, which should include the following elements:
• The aims of ICT education
• Guidance on pedagogic approach
• Coverage of relevant legislation specific to ICT
• An acceptable use policy in appropriate language for primary pupils
• Advice to teachers on the use of social networking sites
• Statements detailing the assessment of ICT
• Criteria on which resource procurement decisions are to be based
• A job description of the ICT or e-learning coordinator
• As assessed work, this should be supported by reference to academic or professional literature
An excellent policy:
• Be accessible and informative for non-specialist staff in a primary school.
• Reflect current good practice, recent research and government policy within ICT education, demonstrating some synthesis of these different perspectives
• Draw on educational theory
• Be internally consistent
• Support compliance with relevant legislation
Becta on AUPs
• Be clear and concise
• Reflect your setting
• Encourage end-user input
• Be written in an appropriate style for your users
• Promote positive use of new and emerging technologies
• Clearly outline acceptable and unacceptable behaviours for school and personal technology
• Outline what monitoring takes place
• Outline sanctions for unacceptable use
• Be regularly reviewed
• Be widely and regularly communicated to all stakeholders
Outline Scheme of Work
An outline scheme of work for either EYFS/KS1 or KS2. This should be organised on a half termly basis, and provide a broad and balanced technological education. You are advised to include:• Topic title• Overall learning objectives• A brief outline of activities within the unit• Suggested resources• Cross curricular links
An excellent scheme of work:
• Be imaginative and stimulating
• Be skilfully designed to match the range of pupils’ needs
• Ensure continuity and progression
• Provide realistic and challenging situations in which pupils can use and develop their ICT skills and understanding
• Meet EYFS requirements (where appropriate) and cover the content of the draft Computing programme of study.
Ofsted Excellence:
The imaginative and stimulating subject curriculum is skilfully designed to match to the full range of pupils’ needs and to ensure highly effective continuity and progression in their learning. All strands of the statutory ICT National Curriculum are covered extremely well for all pupils, in ICT lessons or in a planned and monitored way across the school curriculum. Pupils are able to use their ICT skills in realistic and challenging situations. Excellent links are forged with other agencies and the wider community to provide a wide range of enrichment activities to promote pupils’ learning and engagement with the subject.
ICT Mark
Systematic planning for ICT capability is effective and includes an appropriate level of challenge with clear opportunities for pupils to achieve. Planning also identifies opportunities for pupils to apply and consolidate their ICT capability across subjects.
Innovation
Robinson, 2011
Innovation is the process of putting new ideas into practice. Innovation is applied creativity. By definition, innovation is always about introducing something new, or improved, or both and it usually assumed to be a positive thing.
Schools need to find ways of using ICT that give young people the transformed learning opportunities that some are already experiencing with ICT at home
Attempts to use ICT in ways that transform pedagogy and learning are strongly constrained by factors beyond participants' control
Innovations in pedagogy do not lie within the teacher's gift, or even within the school's gift, because they always have implications for how students, teachers and the school are recognised and valued by the community, locally and nationally.
Somekh 2007
• different technologies can improve learning by augmenting and connecting proven learning activities
• this potential will only be realised through innovative teaching practice.
• we found relatively little technological innovation in some of the more effective learning themes
• many efforts to realise the potential of digital technology in education have made two key errors: they have put the technology above teaching and excitement above evidence
Luckin et al 2012
The 'tinkering' teacher is an individualised embryo of institutional knowledge creation. When such tinkering becomes more systematic, more collective and explicitly managed, it is transformed into knowledge creation… Transfer is difficult to achieve for it involves far more than telling or simply providing information… This is most easily achieved when a teacher tinkers with information derived from another's professional practice.

The future…
Watson (1958)(Chairman of IBM)

“The Internet? We are not interested in it”
MOORE’S LAW
The first iteration of a device, an idea or an on-line service is invariably rubbish…
If you ever find yourself dismissing an idea because the first implementation isn’t very good, then you must ask yourself if the implementation is being held back solely by the available technology.
If that is the case… you need only wait a while.
Hammersley, 2012
Illich (1970)
• Deschooling society
• Learning webs
• Reference services to educational objects
• Skill exchanges
• Peer-matching
• Reference services to educators-at-large
Papert (1993)Using speech, touch or gesture, she would steer the machine to the topic of interest, quickly navigating through a knowledge space much broader than the contents of any printed encyclopedia.
Children who grow up with the opportunity to explore the jungles and the cities and the deep oceans and ancient myths and outer space will be even less likely to sit quietly through anything even vaguely resembling the elementary school curriculum as we have known it up to now.
How would the introduction of Knowledge Machines into the School environment compromise the primacy with which we view reading and writing?
