 Schools can be transformed using digital technology, but has this been the case in the most schools? I would say that many schools have made great strides in developing an environment where technology can be used to support learning and school management, but often there is not a clear whole school plan.
Often schools lack an over-arching shared vision of what they want to achieve and this can sometimes mean that expensive technology is not being used effectively, or not being used at all. The best thing to do is to take a step back and reflect on why you think using technology can enhance learning and improve your school’s management systems. Once you have decided on your shared vision, the next step is to consider who will be responsible for your strategy and implementation. You will need to consider teaching & learning, school management, availability of technology, school management, digital safeguarding and training requirements. To help you to do this we have designed a school technology audit. This audit is currently free to UK Schools. It will allow your school to consider a range of key factors and aid the process of planning for the transformation of your school. It’s best if the audit is completed by a number of staff from within your school, but feedback from one member of staff is still useful. What have you got to lose? Complete the School Technology Audit (results will be returned to your school within 5 working days)
