Case Studies
Developments in ICT are rapid and ever-changing. We want to be able to inform teachers of some of the best new technologies and pieces of software available. In order to do this, we have worked in partnership with schools to carry out case studies on some of the most recommended and exciting new developments.
Last year, many schools were involved in trialling the following with their pupils:
Online Collaboration Tools
- VoiceThread
- Virtual Learning Environments (VLE)
- Video Conferencing
- Wiki
- Edmodo
Exploring Programming and Exchange
- Scratch
- Mediascapes
The teachers involved have written up accounts of their experiences of using these tools and technologies and have provided examples of the work carried out by their pupils. We hope that these will provide you with an insight into how they can be used in the classroom, as well as advice and helpful hints! We hope that you will find them useful and be encouraged to have a go at using some new technologies yourself.
