Education Technology in Schools Just how much screen time for children is too much? And how can we keep up to date with the fast-changing world of technology in schools? <strong>Surrey</strong> <strong>Homes</strong> asks two head teachers for their views Photo: FreeImages.com/Shamseer Sureash Kumar David Clark Headmaster Battle Abbey School What range of technologies do your students have access to in the classroom on a daily basis? There is so much scope in computing and we, in the computing & ICT department have focused on making our lessons fun and informative. We use both hardware and software to achieve this. We have used Lego in our lessons from Key Stage 3 right up to Sixth Form. We find that students can’t resist playing around trying to make things work. We also run a good range of free IT based Extra Curricular clubs such as Minecraft and also participate in the annual Lego League Competition. We use hardware such as Raspberry Pis (a fun way to learn about complex programming such as the python language), LEDs, buttons and sound to create different systems. We were also part of the BBC Microbit initiative and continue to use this online resource in our Key Stage 3 lessons. Music, photos and video are also a part of our lessons and we are looking forward to incorporating 3D design into the curriculum later this year and using the school’s 3D printer. How do you keep up to date with the fastchanging technology world? At Battle Abbey School, the Computing & ICT department has always been full of innovative thinkers who regularly achieve outstanding results. We have eagerly incorporated a range of exciting tasks into our lessons to comply with the new Government initiative for computing in schools. This year in our Key Stage 3 lessons we have incorporated elements of Computing and ICT into their practical lessons. We have also added a theory element where they learn about the history of computers, binary and algorithms. We regularly incorporate the ‘hour of code’ into our KS3 lessons which is another fun initiative and we offer a useful introduction to programming. Our Computing teachers participate in regular training courses and a number of them are examiners which means they are right up to date with what examiners expect. We have been lucky to be part of a number of projects, too. In 2015 a group of Battle Abbey students were involved in a Google Rise project call Arrastre where ‘computing and dance collide!’ The dance department were also involved and we worked with the leader of the project, Genevieve Smith-Nunes. The students involved learnt about wearable technology and how it is programmed, and this is something we have incorporated into GCSE Computing lessons. Genevieve has recently approached the school with another exciting project which we hope to start working on in the coming year. We have many interesting speakers from various business and technology backgrounds visiting the school as part of our careers schedule and plan to have even more speakers next year. 109 wealdentimes.co.uk
