Author: Jackie Roberts, Furze Infant School
Date: 2006

Summary

Jackie discusses the effects of the implementation of the ICT Test Bed Project in her school, particularly how the teaching staff have coped and benefited from the experience.

Action

The school has been implementing change through the ICT Test Bed project to create an ICT rich environment. An ICT specialist was appointed to manage the project initially, although this role was subsequently taken over by a teacher.

Outcomes

Jackie felt that a collaborative approach to managing the project had brought several benefits, with the teaching staff feeling that they have control over changes and, through effective training, developing new skills and gaining in confidence. The partnerships between teachers, parents and governors had also been strengthened.
