Education has barely changed
I don't aspire to join that illustrious company by stating on record that this technology or that gadget is going to change the world. Nothing has a shorter shelf-life than the cutting edge
15 more annotation(s)...
- technology has the potential to disseminate learning much more widely than ever before.
- just as technology raises profound questions about how we learn, it also prompts us to think about how we teach.
- personalising teaching for every pupil
- technology brings unprecedented opportunities for assessment.
- We're not going to tell you what to do
- By its very nature, new technology is a disruptive force. It innovates, and invents; it flattens hierarchies, and encourages creativity and fresh thinking.
- put our trust in the professionalism of teachers
- rather than focusing on hardware or procurement, we are investing in training individuals
- The disruptive, innovative, creative force of new technology also pushes us to think about the curriculum.
- That's why I am announcing today that the Department for Education is opening a consultation on withdrawing the existing National Curriculum Programme of Study for ICT from September this year.
- The new Computer Science courses will reflect what you all know: that Computer Science is a rigorous, fascinating and intellectually challenging subject.
- we will certainly consider including Computer Science as an option in the English Baccalaureate
- In an open-source world, why should we accept that a curriculum is a single, static document? A statement of priorities frozen in time; a blunt instrument landing with a thunk on teachers' desks and updated only centrally and only infrequently?
- educational technology
- showing 3D images of the heart pumping blood through valves, and manipulating, rotating and tilting the heart in real time
