Our Musselburgh Games Based learning project gets a mention on Teachers TV News along with some of the other award winning projects that were showcased last week. Including Jeroen Staltiens 'Hollywood in de klas'.
‘According to a 2006 survey on ICT use
in European schools, the UK was at the front with 60% of teachers having
access, competence and motivation to use the internet and computers in
classroom situations. The EU average was just 38%.’
It’s interesting to reflect
on the above quote – often we complain about ICT provision in UK schools. But in comparison to a
lot of areas in the world we are not that badly off. Yes there could be some
things that are done better, lots of website that should be unblocked but for
me its about empowering more teachers to use ICT in a creative and innovative
way.
I often use the slide below in my presentations. We need more teachers to take risks!
Couldn't agree more about taking risks Ollie. Try to get my team, especially my NQT, to take at least one risk per day. I find that real learning conversations can then take place.
