One school's approach to ICT

Another article from the Education Guardian, about a novel approach to ICT:-

When Saint Cecilia's, Wandsworth Church of England school opened in September 2003, I decided it was an opportunity to introduce a more innovative approach to using technology in the classroom. Working closely with our technology partners, we developed a solution that would integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into all areas of pupils' education and the national curriculum. We decided that each pupil should have his or her own notebook to provide the most flexible way in which to embed ICT into the curriculum

Based on what we see on a day-to-day basis in our classrooms, we're confident ICT will reap educational benefits, making learning more fun, motivating our pupils, giving them the skills they'll need in the workplace, as well as improving educational performance.
That so many of our teachers choose to use ICT in the classroom shows that it brings real advantages to teachers and pupils - coordinating lesson planning, saving time and energy as well as enriching lesson content. However, our ethos remains that ICT is just one part of what we do, and is a central tool to making teaching fun and effective in the classroom, improving the overall learning experience
