ICT
contributing to learning in practice
It has been suggested that children involved in active learning are more likely to recall information where the responsibility to learn is placed on learners. See for yourself what this can look like in this interactive session led by a group of children.

Impact of technology
on the nature of learning in school
There is evidence that ICT can help pupils to learn more independently and support teachers in planning a more personalised curriculum. However ICT does not make a difference by simply being used. Access to technology to support learning, when appropriate, needs to be planned and integrated into the school curriculum in order to provide a sustainable independent learning environment. This seminar considers how technology can impact on individuals and groups of learners within a school environment.

Making an interactive whiteboard
This seminar looks at how a teacher uses an interactive whiteboard (smartboard) in order to involve children. What are the children actually doing? It will provide practical examples and ideas for effective and creative use.
