Digital creativity and 'hard to reach' learners
Management view
The Lady Jane Franklin School
John Craig, headteacher:
The evidence for the value of the computers in school shows in the staff response in that what they’re reporting back, is that the students in particular in creative areas such as literacy are more engaged and gives a greater use of strategies for teaching available, and er, there’s more success in that way. And also from meeting students, and talking to them, and observing lessons that you actually see more pride I suppose in their success and the sense of achievement for students in those sort of creative areas, and a willingness to concentrate and work, and to be challenged. So I think there’s a variety in there. And it covers the abilities spread as well and what we’re finding is that students who are reluctant are more able and less reluctant to engage, and it’s a way of achieving success for the whole range of ability.
