Kent 3.3

Thursday 21st June saw a group of ICT specialists from the area around Swanley descend on White Oaks school to learn more about how ICT, and in particular Textease Studio CT, could help with the new primary framework.

The focus was on the education rather than the ICT and teachers spent much time looking at how the various tools available could fit into their classroom practice. There was much interest in the idea of recording sound onto objects on a page as a way of speading up the process of annotating and understanding. It also became clear that this functionality could easily have a role to play in assessment and also in ongoing, developmental record keeping of child progress.

The session was supported by Diana Marsden, who is based at Hextable Junior School and who is the 'Kent Hands-on-Support' teacher for the area. Schools in the are acan call on her to work with then to futher develop their ideas and expertise with the Textease software used. She can be contacted at diana_marsde@hotmail.com .
