Securing Positive Impact with Technology

How does technology help with collaboration?

'So thinking about metacognition then, it's about articulating your thought process. So, if you're using the technology, you can actually see what's inside every single pupil's head and that you wouldn't get if you didn't have the technology.'

Examples of impact

'But the tech is the thing that's driving him forwards because he really enjoys using the technology, and a lot of our children do, and so that is actually a bit of a way into the learning for them. '

Impact of technology on times tables attainment

'All children have been practising accessing their times tables using technology from the start. And that has exactly mirrored the assessment that they're doing in Year four. So not only are children accessing high quality times tables practise online and getting that repetitive, repeated practise, it's also directly helping them in their future assessments.'

Can technology help us teach literacy more effectively?

'I've been using Nearpod to really help me to assess where the children are at in terms of their grammar. It gives me that instant feedback so that if they've got any misconceptions or there's something that they don't quite understand, then I can just there and then address it.'

Real time interventions to raise standards of attainment in Maths

'I don't have to wait to collect in books, mark a task or even ask people at the end of a lesson for how they've got on with the work. It means that already as the lesson is progressing, I can be thinking about next lesson.'

What impact does technology have on raising standards?

'The first question I get asked by senior leaders in schools is what impact does technology have on the outcomes at school? To be absolutely honest, it's very, very difficult to associate the impact of technology on outcomes.'
