Hi, Doug,
Yes, teachers MUST know how to use the equipment without passing the buck to
a technician or classroom assistant. However, given that the teacher
understands how and where any tool can be used, as per Dewey, we should be
surrounding our pupils with such resources and experiences as and when
appropriate to extend their learning.
BUT re: 'There is little use in asking a learner to use a video camera or
consult a website if they have no prior knowledge/experience of how to make
use of such resources'. I tend to disagree.
Teachers are not daft: they know their kids and do not need to give long
formal lessons if a quick chat with a small group is all that is necessary.
Most children have some experience of these tools even at KS1 and it's just
a case of building up. Rarely in one's lesson plan does the teacher enter
'Prior Experience: NONE'.

Subject: RE: [Advisory] primary curriculum re development
I think Ray raises an interesting point here about ICT as a subject and as a
tool.
I do feel, however, that in his response, Ray is focussed upon the teacher
use of ICT whereas ICT as a subject would be focussed upon the learners' use
of ICT. I believe we all need to be taught how to use ICT tools to their
best advantage and this may come from formal instruction or informal
learning from peers or self-learning. There is little use in asking a
learner to use a video camera or consult a website if they have no prior
knowledge/experience of how to make use of such resources.
I do firmly believe that the best role for ICT is as tools to support and
enhance learning but there needs to be prior learning in how to use these
tools. The question is, however, should this be taught as a distinct ICT
subject or curriculum area or should it be taught as part of learning in
other subjects? This is not a new question and I'd guess the answer comes
down to the needs/learning styles of the learner; maybe some learners need
to be taught these skills as a separate subject area whereas others are able
to develop these skills while working on other subject areas.
Possibly the confusion comes in that we label both of these 'ICT', maybe we
should resurrect the old label, 'computer science'?

RE: 'Would love to see a little more direct guidance about ICT as a primary
curriculum subject'.
Please forgive me if this sounds a bit arrogant but isn't it time we stopped
thinking about ICT as a subject? (Except possibly as a GCSE or A-level
'subject'.) Surely we are past the stage of observing a dialogue between two
pupils and questioning whether to write it down word by word? No we would
quickly grab a voice recorder. If we wanted to document a dance sequence or
gymnastic activity, would we write about it or grab a video-camera? If a
child asks a difficult question in a Geography lesson do we say 'Don't worry
me now.' Or do we say 'Sorry I don't know, but why not Ask Jeeves'?
Surely, by now all teachers should be capable of identifying where, in their
own personal teaching plans, they might best use ICT tools? Yes I know that
this needs planning, batteries charged, just in case... etc. But this is
what teachers do. We make sure that the resources are readily available and
encourage appropriate use as and when the need arises.

Subject: RE: [Advisory] primary curriculum re development
The difficulties you are finding are not unfamiliar to me...
We are beginning to look at the programmes of learning which have come from
the review of the primary curriculum to provide guidance about where ICT
might be embedded, with a hope that whatever is developed now might still be
usable in a few years time. Also trying to ensure that the ICT learned is
useful to the pupils learning in other subjects.
Would love to see a little more direct guidance about ICT as a primary
curriculum subject, particularly with regard to learning outcomes for pupils
- perhaps even APP statements?

Subject: [Advisory] primary curriculum re development
I am working with a number of schools to help them re develop their
curriculum. I am finding a number of difficulties:
1) Recently qualified teachers are unable to develop their curriculum in
terms of topics as they have been trained around the QCA
2) Longer serving teachers are happier to engage with topics but are less
confident about teaching the complete NC (especially when it comes to ICT!)
Personally, I think we need to go right back to why we are educating
children in the first place and that is to give them the necessary skills
and knowledge to access the 21st century world of work successfully. But,
that in itself is a real problem because most teachers have been in
education all their lives and just want to stick with what they know.
My approach to this is to encourage schools to think about work related
learning and to develop their curriculum around this. However this is a
really big shift for most primary schools. Anybody got any comments / ideas
/ case studies that would help me with this?
Thanks

color:#1F497D'>Please forgive me if this sounds a bit arrogant but =
isn’t
it time we stopped thinking about ICT as a subject? (Except possibly as =
a GCSE
or A-level ‘subject’.) Surely we are past the stage of =
observing a
dialogue between two pupils and questioning whether to write it down =
word by
word? No we would quickly grab a voice recorder. If we =
wanted to
document a dance sequence or gymnastic activity, would we write about it =
or
grab a video-camera? If a child asks a difficult question in a =
Geography
lesson do we say ‘Don’t worry me now.’ Or do we =
say
‘Sorry I don’t know, but why not Ask Jeeves’? =
Surely,
by now all teachers should be capable of identifying where, in their own
personal teaching plans, they might best use ICT tools? Yes I know =
that
this needs planning, batteries charged, just in case... etc. But =
this is
what teachers do. We make sure that the resources are readily =
available
and encourage appropriate use as and when the need arises.</span><span

color:black'>I am working with a number of schools to help them re =
develop
their curriculum. I am finding a number of difficulties: <br>
1) Recently qualified teachers are unable to develop their curriculum in =
terms
of topics as they have been trained around the QCA <br>
2) Longer serving teachers are happier to engage with topics but are =
less
confident about teaching the complete NC (especially when it comes to =
ICT!) <br>
Personally, I think we need to go right back to why we are educating =
children
in the first place and that is to give them the necessary skills and =
knowledge
to access the 21st century world of work successfully. But, that in =
itself is a
real problem because most teachers have been in education all their =
lives and
just want to stick with what they know. <br>
My approach to this is to encourage schools to think about work related
learning and to develop their curriculum around this. However this is a =
really
big shift for most primary schools. Anybody got any comments / ideas / =
case
studies that would help me with this?</span><span =
