6. Strategic View of ICT in Hornsea School and Sixth Form Centre Introduction • ICT - and the internet in particular – have created an entirely new environment for teaching and learning. The internet makes possible information, communication and collaboration in ways undreamed of even five years ago. • However, the challenges are considerable ……….. • We want to integrate ICT within the school in a way, that will be of real practical benefit to every member of staff, regardless of the fact that the majority are from a non-technical background. • “Less than 20% of teachers have the basic confidence and competence to exploit ICT as a tool for learning”. (Specialist Schools Trust) • We want to maximise participation and involvement and enhance the community within the school (parents, teachers, governors etc). • We want to make learning resources available to parents, pupils, teachers anytime, anywhere.

7. Key Issues • How can we increase and enhance parental involvement with their child’s education? • How can we effectively make lesson resources available to pupils outside the “conventional” school environment? • The school has a great ICT suite but our children only get access twice a week. • How can we integrate ICT into our schools as “painlessly” as possible for all the staff? • How can we give our staff the confidence and competence to engage with the interfaces?

8. Benefits • Allows the teaching and learning process to continue long after the lesson has finished. • Very flexible, allowing teachers to work from home. • Provide the parents of pupils the opportunity to work with the teacher to enhance the pupils’ learning process. • Personal Learning: • improves their learning-to-learn skills • improves their flexibility as learners • allows the adaptation of learning materials and experiences to the individual’s learning styles and preferences

9. Conclusion • Imagine that you wake up in the morning to discover that your school has an adequate supply of computers and reliable networking. • Imagine also that all your teachers as part of their professional practice are now confident in the basic use of ICT. • What changes would then be possible and desirable to underpin a world-class education system fit for the new millennium? Caveat • Learning is at its heart a social and socialising process. ICT cannot replace the need for the human touch.
