Chris,
I have been watching development of VLEs in primary for years, and it
seemed to me that despite quite a few schools achieving great things
with younger children, that there has not been a consensus on the
imperative to use VLEs at this level.
But what Emma says really agrees with what I have been thinking - that
the imperative is developing around surfacing of the pupils'
creativity, first for sharing and afl in the school, then powerfully
with parents to drive parental engagement.
I also have a string feeling that it will be a combination of VLE +
Visualiser that will make this explode, so that all sorts of non-
digital work and activity can also be made visible. Particularly if
the pupils are enabled to use the visualiser to digitise their work.
(Some good examples on http://www.visualiserforum.org/)
Roger.
