ICT at school and in the home: efficiency, inclusion and digital skills
|
Guest of Honour: Stephen Crowne, Chief Executive, Becta
|
|
This seminar will offer a timely opportunity to examine the use of information and communication technology (ICT) within Britain's schools, and to assess to what extent the promised benefits are being realised in terms of efficiency, pupil attainment and value for money.
The agenda also looks more widely to the educational impact of ICT in homes, at the record of policy to increase home access to technology and at the effect that this is having on reducing inequalities between learners.
We are delighted that Stephen Crowne, Chief Executive, Becta will be delivering a keynote address at this seminar. At this early stage Steve Beswick, Senior Director for Education, Microsoft UK; David Moran, Operational Director of Information, Specialist Schools and Academies Trust; Tony Nicholson, Headteacher, Hodgson School, Lancashire; Terry Sweeney, Chief Executive Officer, RM Christine Terrey, Headteacher, Grays Infants School and Greg Wallace, Executive Principal, London Fields Woodberry Down Federation have also agreed to speak. Further senior speakers are being approached and we are waiting for confirmation of diaries.
Andrew Miller MP, Chair, Parliamentary Information Technology Committee and Baroness Perry of Southwark have kindly agreed to chair this seminar.
