How can technology help include every learner?
'If you're using technology that just helps, you can quickly find out who's got it, who hasn't, and you can move on with the lesson. But what about got that child who perhaps isn't as confident and they can just put their answers? It's going to be anonymous. The teacher can pick it up as soon as it comes up on the board. It's those children who we want to support.'

How do we know when technology is the right tool to use for learning?
'We only know that by really looking at what difference it's making to pupils and if it's actually doing what we want it to do. So in order to ascertain that, we work really closely with staff at all levels to make sure that what what we've got in front of the children is right for them at that time. If it isn't, we then come together at the drawing board and say, well, what is it that we need it to do? And then we speak to the people that can make it do that for us. So it's always meeting the needs of the children'.

How can technology help give a voice to some learners?
How can technology help give a voice to some learners?

'Using the technology in terms of her accessing Reading Pluses support but also having some screen reading and breaking down some of the barriers around reading has actually really increased her confidence and allowed her to apply her reading skills, so that she has actually gone through her SATs and reached the expected standard. Which is phenomenal, given the level of barriers she has!'
