Esafety issues and Ofsted

July 2nd, 2008

As a result of the Byron report “Safer Children in a Digital World” the government will ensure that certain courses of action are taken, amoungst them being:

  • Ofsted will provide a short report of the extent to which schools teach learners to adopt safe and responsible e-safety measures based on school responses to question 4b of the Self Evaluation Form in summer 08;

  • Ofsted will include a statement in the forthcoming long report on ICT on the state of internet safety training in schools, based on the sample of schools inspected in its ICT subject survey. This will be published in autumn 2008;

  • for future years, Ofsted will use its annual ICT schools survey to evaluate the extent to which schools teach learners to adopt safe and responsible practices in using new technology;

  • DCSF, drawing on advice from Ofsted, will consider e-safety issues in all new and revised guidance to schools, including, where appropriate, examples of good practice case studies across the curriculum;

  • e-safety questions will be included in TDA’s summer 2009 survey of newly qualified teachers;

  • DCSF will work with the independent Rose Review of the Primary Curriculum to ensure that e-safety issues are properly considered as part of its recommendations, due in March 2009;

  • Becta, in partnership with the National Education Network, will develop and promote a National Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) toolkit for schools by February 2009.

ICT Conference 12 June

May 7th, 2008

Our annual ICT Subject Leaders’ conference is on the 12 June at Deans Place Hotel near Afriston.

The format is very similar to last year’s - there will be an initial update on local and national initatives followed by the teaching and learning seminars which focus on the following:

  • Developing animation using Pivot Stick Animator (which is free)

  • ICT within learning journeys in Year 1 and Early Years, and the impact of assessment for learning

  • Using blogging, podcasting and other technologies to enliven literacy

  • Talking for writing - video conferencing in Year 1

  • Level 5 ICT- what does it look like?

  • Art and ICT

  • New features of Smart 10 Notebook software

  • ULearn -  (at one level) a free mapping facility with a search engine linking to every resource created by every Grid for Learning.

The end of day “Keynote” will feature members of staff from Hawkes Farm who will provide invaluable feedback on their experiences so far as an early adopter of the Uniservity Learning Platform. 

There will also be an opportunity to use one of the new, inexpensive  Asus mini book computers and a group of children using modern technologies will document the day. Please contact Alice Everton (01323 432232) to book a place or click here to book on line. Fiona Large and Adrian Lyth hope to see you there.

Animate and win £4500

March 17th, 2008

Make IT Happen 2008 calls on schools to use technology, such as audio-visual materials, web pages or interactive posters, to describe how they would change an aspect of their local community for the better. Schools are encouraged to focus on an issue they really care about, such as tackling bullying or littering, helping to improve the local environment or supporting their community. Judges will be looking for student-led entries that show initiative and imagination and make the most of students’ technology skills. The competition is organised by the Parliamentary Information Technology Committee (PITCOM) in partnership with e-skills UK (the sector skills council for IT and Telecoms) and the Institution for Engineering and Technology (IET).

Cash prizes of up to £4,500 are available, with twelve prizes of £1,000 for the “regional” winners. The closing date for entries is 13 July 2008.
