Prediction is very hard

Slide 3: Prediction is very hard, especially when it is about the future. Yogi Berra ...and it is time limited!

Slide 4:Computers : Acceptance �I think there may be a world market for five computers in the world� - Thomas Watson - Chairman IBM 1943 �There is no reason for individuals to have a computer in their home� � Ken Olson � CEO DEC 1977 �640,000 bytes of memory ought to be enough for anybody� �The Internet? We are not interested in it.�Bill Gates, Microsoft, 1981 / 1993 Even the most seasoned ICT lovers amongst us have not understood when a particular technology is going to offer a quantum leap. I BM quote on 5 computers A few years ago, the concept of getting money from a hole in the wall was certainly beyond imagination ( for some of us with mortgages and children at university it still is!) Different cultural environments - On a personal note when I was young doing homework I was told off for listening to Radio Luxembourg whilst studying � I then told my children off for listening/watching TV during their period of study They will tell their children off for using mobiles and texting while studying � well actually they won�t because the speed of change has meant that the technology is now moving faster than just one generation at a time. We are in a state of almost complete personal access to mobile telephony for students � which simply adds to the range of interruptions � or is it support � to learning Multi tasking is expected in the work environment � how have we engaged with the context of children today � born into the communications age Even the most seasoned ICT lovers amongst us have not understood when a particular technology is going to offer a quantum leap.

Slide 5:The pace of change is accelerating�.. the result will be far greater transformations in the first two decades of the twenty-first century than we saw in the entire twentieth century. Ray Kurzwell - The Age of Spiritual Machines

Slide 6:In the movies�. Word processors never display a cursor You never have to use the space bar when typing long sentences All monitors display 2 inch high letters High Tech computers all have easy to use graphical interfaces� �and have incredibly powerful text based command shells that can understand and execute commands typed in plain English

Slide 7:So�. We need to make the technology transparent to teachers.

Slide 8:Reality Check�. In the future, technology will continue to make our lives harder and many of us will be delighted about it. Scott Adams - The Dilbert Future

Slide 9:ICT � support for the school institution ICT as a tool for whole school improvement leadership support SLICT to 10,000 head teachers (NCSL/BECTa) guidance for Heads and Governors integration of curriculum and management systems school Workforce remodelling technical support support for teaching assistants broadband to all schools by 2006 � further discussion about rural areas and sustainability required Curriculum Online - �300m in eLCs targets 1:8 and 1:5 by 2004

Slide 10:In the movies�. People typing on a computer will turn it off without saving the data The more high tech the equipment is the more buttons there are � but everyone must be highly trained because the buttons are not labelled.

Slide 11:So�. We need to make the technology transparent to teachers. We need to ensure teachers can maximise the use of the technology

Slide 12:The Need for Lifelong Learning? Lack of education will not be the biggest problem in the future. The problem will be an excess of stupidity as more people fall below the incompetence line.

Slide 13: But we still have a long way to go to support teachers� Entry None Struggles to cope Adoption 30 hours Uses technology at basic level Adaption 45 hours - Discovers 3 months potential Appropriation 60 hours Mastery - 2 years achieved Invention 80 hours Develops -4 years+ new learning skills So how long does it take to master the art of ICT It�s a journey like any other � but as a framework this chart illustrates the kind of transition expected So how long does it take to master the art of ICT It�s a journey like any other � but as a framework this chart illustrates the kind of transition expected

Slide 14:ICT � Developing delivery models ICT as an essential core skill integration within other strategies CPD materials to support literacy and numeracy in primary �and KS3 science �and other subjects promote collaboration between schools Talking Heads and Talk2learn specialist schools / federations

Slide 15:In the movies�. Complex calculations and loading huge amounts of data is accomplished in under 3 seconds Modems transmit data at 10 gigabytes per second Laptops always have amazing real time, three dimensional photo-realistic graphics and have the video phone capacity and performance of a CRAY3.

Slide 16:So�. We need to make the technology transparent to teachers. We need to ensure teachers can maximise the use of the technology We need to make the technology powerful for learning

Slide 17:Cultural reality� Access to computer at home � KS3 78%; KS4 80% Access to the Internet at home � KS3 62%; KS4 70% Schoolwork/projects etc. � KS3 88%; KS4 91% Personal ownership of mobile phones � KS4-68% CU2nite � l8r � b47? ... Gr8 � :-) New technology in school� New modes of administration and management support

Slide 18:Staffing - para professionals The paperless school? �The paperless office and the paperless toilet have much in common. While both may be technically feasible, neither is socially acceptable�

Slide 19:Reality Check�. In the future, your clothes will be smarter than you. Scott Adams - The Dilbert Future

Slide 20:In the movies�. Any PERMISSION DENIED message has a following OVERRIDE function Computers always allow you to access all the key information no matter how secret it is. Any program can have minute details pulled out of it � you can zoom in on a picture to see what shampoo the victim was using for example.

Slide 21:So�. We need to make the technology transparent to teachers. We need to ensure teachers can maximise the use of the technology We need to make the technology powerful for learning We need to make ICT relevant for teachers and meet their needs.

Slide 22:ICT � Developing a pedagogy ICT as a contributor to teaching and learning Developing an elearning pedagogy working through subject specialisms subject associations + ASTs + key agencies e-assessment � feed into developing pedagogy Support for all teachers laptops for teachers - �200m training materials - �8m training support - �120m

Slide 23:Offering - each subject at KS3� Guidance (explicit) on contribution ICT can make exemplar lessons case studies CPD materials lesson plans video clips animations case studies online and face to face tutor support online community support

Slide 24:Offering - each subject at KS3� High quality digital content Curriculum Online whole class materials and individualised learning complete packages and single �assets� Strategic management materials SMT level middle management level

Slide 25:? A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely re-arranging their prejudices. William James Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week George Bernard Shaw

Slide 26:eConfident School - challenges Concurrent learning � home, library, school Cinematic learning � visual media influencing what, where and how children learn Collaborative learning � online communities Communicative learning � online support, mentoring- availability of teachers to students Consensual learning � child as partner in the learning process ICT is impacting on the way we did things before! We have to understand how to accommodate, take account and measure the impact of related learning external to the schoolICT is impacting on the way we did things before! We have to understand how to accommodate, take account and measure the impact of related learning external to the school

Slide 27:From leap of faith to act of conviction moved from a �leap of faith� to real evidence of successful practice created a wealth of research to answer the question that ICT impacts on standards � and moved the debate to �how?� shown that ICT can support improvement in pupil attitudes and behaviour shown that ICT can have a direct positive relationship to pupil performance shown that schools (KS2: age 7-11yrs) with good ICT resources have better achievement than schools with poor ICT resources: (i) even when compared with schools of a similar type� (ii) irrespective of socio-economic circumstances� iii) irrespective of quality of management

Slide 28:Computers � as a dynamic �Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid; humans are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination.� Albert Einstein � in between cracking Brown�s Molecular movement and extending Planck�s quantum theory 1915 saw his General Theory of Relativity published � in between all this he referenced computers as requiring people to really achieve a fundamental shift in terms of impact I have always argued that computers are no more than a catalyst � a very powerful catalyst � but nonetheless if we do not ensure that the other ingredients are right � and crucially our teacher�s understanding of how to maximise the transformational potential of these new technologies, - then we waste the potential. If the non-believers in the room concerning the role of ICT in education suspend their beliefs for a few moments � let us investigate this statementAlbert Einstein � in between cracking Brown�s Molecular movement and extending Planck�s quantum theory 1915 saw his General Theory of Relativity published � in between all this he referenced computers as requiring people to really achieve a fundamental shift in terms of impact I have always argued that computers are no more than a catalyst � a very powerful catalyst � but nonetheless if we do not ensure that the other ingredients are right � and crucially our teacher�s understanding of how to maximise the transformational potential of these new technologies, - then we waste the potential.

Slide 29:eConfident schooling - it looks like this�

Slide 30:In the movies�.classroom�. We need to make the technology transparent to teachers � so it is an enabler and teachers can concentrate on the teaching We need to ensure teachers can maximise the use of the technology � so ongoing CPD is essential We need to make the technology powerful for learning � so teachers can better tailor materials to match student needs We need to make ICT relevant for teachers and meet their needs � so teachers can release the potential of 21st century learning
