‘Drive thru’ education?
“Cereal products like Cornflakes cannot be consumed on the road and are thus losing markets shares in the US. The consumer wants mobile, finger-friendly food which does not need a knife, spoon or a fork”
(Justesen, 2002)
“I’ll take that lesson to go”
The 2007 Illinois Institute of Design think tank on Schools in the Digital Age
“Kids lead high tech lives outside school and decidedly low tech lives inside school. This new ‘divide’ is making the activities inside school appear to have less real world relevance to kids.”
“Kids are increasingly motivated and engaged by what they learn in out-of-school programmes and in their virtual online lives, and mechanisms for capturing and enabling them must be found.”

“a crisis of relevance”?
What is the issue?
Top tips for addressing the issues
Tip 1 – Simple uses
Computer games as learning tools –
using and making
Collaborative tools – blogging, forums, chatrooms, wikis

Tip 4 – Student-owned devices
Student-owned devicesThe future ICT budget
Student-owned devices - total cost of ownership (TCO)
• Initial cost
• Technical support cost
• Training
• Disposal cost
• Insurance
• Classroom setup? Flexible use? Logon times?
• Sustainable wireless infrastructure
• Use of online applications
• Learning resources and activities in appropriate formats
Tip 5 - Narrowing the digital divide(s)• Home Access Programme £300 million
• E-Learning foundations? Parental contributions?
• Pay for it yourself?!?
• What is the extra impact of a student owning a device?
Tip 6 - Tackling within-school variation
• Do your departments know what each other are doing?
• How do they share what works and what doesn’t?
• Have your staff had an e-learning experience?
Tip 7 - The Wow
3D Games authoring
Virtual worlds are coming…
The wow - Augmented reality
- www.learnAR.org- Cheap, simple and flexible- engaging for students?- what is the potential?
Tip 8: Make sure your technical team are with you
• Are they still fit for purpose?
• Do they enable or block? Do they lead or follow?
• Audit their work - do they see the positives?
• See ICT Register and (BECTA) FITS work
Challenge:What are you going to do NOW to address the gap?
