The Primary ICT & E-Learning Co-Ordinator′s Manual: Book One, a Guide for New Subject Leaders

By James Wright

Every primary school has the daunting task of embedding ICT and E- Learning into their curriculum. This practical manual is the first part of a 2-volume set that together makes up a detailed 2-year training programme for primary ICT and E-learning co-ordinators. The books combine key strategies and information with a weblog discussion from a group of ′virtual′ co-ordinators who share their problems, fears and successes over the two-year programme, based on the author′s wide experience of working with new co-ordinators and experienced staff on training programmes and in general support.

Book 1 is designed specifically for co-ordinators new to the role who need starting points and broad support. It presents a structured training programme split over three terms, guiding co-ordinators through the key stages of developing and implementing ICT policy and practice, including:

o auditing existing school systems

o reviewing and revising the school policy for ICT

o reviewing the ways in which ICT is used as a teaching and learning tool across the curriculum

o examining methods for the management of technical support services

o establishing a clear overview of standards in ICT, including a review of assessment procedures, moderating work, monitoring teaching and learning and creating E Portfolios.

The books have a companion website, which will offer downloadable versions of the photocopiable sheets from the book, as well as links to other sources of help and advice.
