    A charity that sets out to inspire and support schools and families to take positive action so that the education of every child is enhanced by good access to, and use of, learning technologies when and where they need them. It offers advice and guidance to schools on how to run a 1-1 access programme that is equitable for all families. It runs a Donation Management Service (DMS) that enables schools to support 1-1 tablet access even for disadgantaged children. It does this by taking over the administrative burden of making regular collections from parents, to create provision for all children to have their personal access to a computer.

    Becta. (2008). Harnessing Technology Review 2008: The role of technology and its impact on education. Coventry, UK: Becta. Reviews the role of technology in the UK and summarises the approach of primary and secondary schools and colleges. In all three sectors, the review reflects the same kinds of opportunities, attitudes and barriers that we found represented in our UNESCO survey of primary schools around the world. This data shows the range of different stages of maturity of ICT use between primary schools within one country with a unified system of state education. The range will be even broader when private education is included. Some countries will not yet have had the amount of government investment in ICT infrastructure for schools that the UK had by 2008, others will by now be well ahead of this. However, the issues are universal.

'Teaching as a Design Science' by Diana Laurillard - 20 views

    Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science. Like other design professionals - architects, engineers, town planners, programmers - teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession. Every day, teachers design and test new ways of teaching, using learning technology to help their learners. But their discoveries remain local. By representing and communicating their best ideas as structured pedagogical patterns, teachers could develop this vital professional knowledge collectively. Teacher professional development has not embedded in the teacher's everyday role the idea that they could discover something worth communicating to other teachers, or build on each others' ideas. Could the culture change? From this unique perspective on the nature of teaching, Diana Laurillard argues that a 21st century education system needs teachers who work collaboratively to design effective and innovative teaching.

    I never thought of it this way. It's a great concept. We need to understand that design is not about beauty, but about vision, about following a process and always trying to make a dent. And of course, this will only be achieved by the use of crowd wisdom and the sharing process.
  • bwhitingjr on 27 May 14
     
    Teaching by design is an interesting way to contemplate the way we teach. I suppose, I am always designing bridges to each and everyone of my students. One student understands the concept given in a traditional manner while the other needs to walk up the hill and see it from afar. Either way I have to figure out how to get my student to understand.
  • kadiyan on 28 May 14
     
    True......even i did not think of it this way!!yes even i now think teaching is now a design science. With technology changing every day, we as teachers will have to think of new ways to use the new tools and as individual isolated teachers we wont be able to keep pace and do justice so we all will have to share and work collaboratively to design innovative ways to teach effectively.
  • hackingmom on 28 May 14
     
    Dear Diana, I can't agree more on your proposals. In fact the peer2peer learning that we propose and expect from children in class has to become a MUST between teachers. I am not a teacher but I have experienced hoy there is Little sharing between teachers of same "level" of education in same school, almost NO dialog between those of different levels, and scarcely any between other teachers. How to rebuild this communication is crutial, and not only between heads and teachers but also upon other school staff, which sometimes get more information about each child environment and learning attitude than teachers or tutors themselves because they do see students in "non directed" situations react to real life problems.
  • merilau on 28 May 14
     
    You are so right. One thing I like about the school I work with is the enthusiasm some teachers have for finding new tools. Some of us work collaboratively and it makes a real difference. Unfortunately this is not the case with the whole school, but I believe there will come a time when this will be the only way to work. Thanks for sharing!
  • roshanmohammad on 28 May 14
     
    Thank you for Diana for your thought inspiring article. I think that the teachers who understand and master this 'design science' are really going to use ICT to leverage their teaching and their students learning. Institutes will probably need mature 'innovators' to drive the concept of 'design scientists' forward. In addition i believe we will also need a 'design artist' to create a ICT learning culture within the organization too.
  • rosefraser on 29 May 14
     
    Thank you for sharing as a new person to the Teaching Profession I found collaborating efforts have worked really well for me and I am always willing to learn from others and share my ideas with them to get their input and it have proven fruitful. Working as a team and sharing with others to get a different point of view is always important.
  • katrin_n on 29 May 14
     
    In my opinion the most important thing is -given teaching will be treated as a collective design science- learning about how to apply new ways of teaching on our individual children. The newest would probably not always be the best and what worked in other schools elsewhere might not work in your own school. So let´s also stress how to individualize collective knowledge again and break it down to everyday usable teaching aid that we can evaluate.
