20:01:10 SparkyTeaching #ukedchat Are we talking pupils or teachers here?

20:01:13 hlmrmoI have found that children are keen to use technology#ukedchat

20:01:14 mrpeel#ukedchat encourage use of relevant technology inclassrooms -allow phones and encourage their use for

research and cresativity

20:01:19 EducationchatWe should only encourage reluctant users oftechnology if it will enhance what they're doing. Youcan teach without it. #ukedchat

20:01:46 janwebb21How do we encourage/empower the most reluctantusers of tech in school? #ukedchat

20:01:49 jodieworld#ukedchat Half training and supportive, other half justforce them out of comfort zone. Both together workswell in my exp.

20:01:57 ICTmagic@SparkyTeaching Do you get many children who arereluctant users of tech? #ukedchat

20:02:03 mrpeel#ukedchat ensure teachers are given training and knowwhat is easily available but also useful rather than"useful" and ofsted freiendly

20:05:02 SusanElkinJourn#ukedchat Some of the early CTCs issued every pupilwith a laptop. Would be much cheaper now

20:05:02 hlmrmo@janwebb21 I learn from our pupils during ICT byasking them to show me something on a new program I

haven't shown them #ukedchat20:05:12 janwebb21

@carlsberg40 or do we need to say it's ok to try andnot get it 100% right first time? #ukedchat

20:05:17 MichaelaPorter2 @stbirwin that would definitely help! #ukedchat

20:05:17 nickotkdIV@cherrylkd @Educationchat True, it should be part ofthe whole creative curriculum #ukedchat

20:05:22 SparkyTeaching@ICTmagic :P Point taken! We were thinking reluctantas in insecure users... Have taught some of thosealong the way. #ukedchat

20:05:23 Sarahloooo #ukedchat I only really come across adults who arereluctant to use technology at school.

20:05:27 SusanElkinJournRT @syded06: I ask because our focus is now on thestudents becoming experts to help the staff in theclassroom #ukedchat

20:05:35 mattbuxton10Use good teachers with credibility from across schoolto demo & drive ICT, not just those who 'know'technology #ukedchat

20:05:36

In all honesty though, we did roll out a few sessions

using an ADE they saw how intuitive the softwarewas and were sold! #ukedchat20:05:41 jogyouon Anyone being moderated for writing at KS2? #ukedchat20:05:41 nickotkdIV #ukedchat why don't teachers want to use Tech?

20:05:47 AndyGFarsley#ukedchat allow staff to take kit home to play with oruse with their children - safe enviro for them to learn in- many scared kids no more

20:05:54 lizdudley@janwebb21 #ukedchat yes, have some reluctantstudents, those without smartphones don't like usingsocrative as it shows they don't have 1

20:06:19 mattbritland#ukedchat For teachers demonstrate the techs use.How it will benefit them and students. Then you need totrain them properly.

20:06:25 SusanElkinJourn#ukedchat Do teachers still have hangups aboutlearning from/with pupils? I never did,

20:06:25 janwebb21@lizdudley can understand that - how can weovercome the issue #ukedchat

those less confident. Assume we're talking aboutteachers? #ukedchat

20:06:34 ICTmagic@nickotkdIV Interesting. I've always found studentswilling to have a go. Although, I don't teach foundation

often. #ukedchat

20:06:36 PeterSpencer88@nickotkdIV @ICTmagic I think that's the same withanything at that age. Although most kids seem to useICT before pencils/paper #ukedchat

20:06:37 hlmrmo@AndyGFarsley Yep - I love playing with somethingnew and finding out what it can do/how I can use it#ukedchat

20:06:57 TyncanLtd#ukedchat its about putting tech in context, finding outwhat they find interesting in their subject and showing

how tech can help20:07:02 SusanElkinJourn @mikeatedji Hope so. #ukedchat

20:07:08 eslweb@ICTmagic @nickotkdIV I agree and often its my SENstudents who want to use tech the most. #ukedchat

20:07:19 syded06@SusanElkinJourn I believe some staff still think theymust know more than the students so are reluctant touse tech #ukedchat

20:07:22 SparkyTeachingWe made a resource called 'Sites for sore eyes' whichwe initially sold. Now giving it away as the websites arewell known. #ukedchat

20:07:39 mattbritland@syded06 #ukedchat Thats what works really well.Empowering to students and really useful to teachers.

20:07:54 jwinchester25show them examples of how technology could be usedto enhance their subject area - different uses forspecific subjects #ukedchat

20:07:55 lizdudley#ukedchat we have issues with wifi restrictions incollege, means that some systems tempremental,therefore staff give up on them

was killed off by Ofsted today!!

20:08:25 MichelleDhillonInteresting subject. We currently have a student whowill be helping a reluctant teacher to use @Rockhaq.Ideas welcome! #ukedchat

20:08:27 nickotkdIV @cherrylkd @educationchat Teachers, yes #ukedchat20:08:28 urban_teacher

Its not students who are afraid of technology (theywere born with it); teachers are! #ukedchat

20:08:45 ICTmagic@PeterSpencer88 But why is there is child/adultdivide? Will it always be there with the latest tech?#ukedchat

20:08:46 SusanElkinJourn#ukedchat At the simplest level must be a place forKindles etc in Eng Lit now?

20:08:51 SparkyTeaching

...It takes teachers thru various web apps (Dropbox,

Prezi etc) + gives tips how to use creatively. Will sortout a download link #ukedchat

20:09 EducationchatTo encourage anyone to use anything new we need tomodel it and show them the benefits to them of using it.Then help them. #ukedchat

20:09:09 janwebb21@hlmrmo #ukedchat but that's just exactly what somestaff don't love to do - do we need to build in fiddle-time?

20:09:23 scrumdown#ukedchat Let the experts lead the teaching &

learning... The students!

20:09:25 syded06@mattbritland It's interesting that we ask students to beresilient and overcome hurdles but perhaps don't do itourselves? #ukedchat

20:09:29 janwebb21RT @syded06: @SusanElkinJourn I believe some staffstill think they must know more than the students so arereluctant to use tech #ukedchat

20:09:36 AndyGFarsley#ukedchat - showcase work in achievement assemblyto inspire children and show staff how easy somethings are

20:09:38 jodieworld#ukedchat I had the privilege in one of my old schoolsto be able to teach ICT weekly to all the TAs in schooltime. Great progress!

20:09:40 EducationchatTeachers need time to get to grips with newtechnology. Sadly, there isn't a lot of that around inschools these days... #ukedchat

20:09:47 hlmrmo @janwebb21 That would be great. #ukedchat

20:09:50 cherrylkd@PeterSpencer88 @janwebb21 Digital leaders are theway forward to help reluctant teachers. Being teacher

doesn't make us experts #ukedchat

20:10:31 mattbritland@syded06 Your right...I think it actually quite a bitproblem with some teachers. I am always learningsomething from students. #ukedchat

20:10:45 hlmrmo@ICTmagic If it's appropriate, it should be used#ukedchat

20:10:50 KaronMcB How do teachers find out what has been evaluated? Doteachers have the research method tools to testinnovations they introduce? #ukedchat

20:10:55 syded06@cherrylkd @PeterSpencer88 @janwebb21 Digitalleaders are definitely worth pursuing #ukedchat

20:11:23 lizdudley#ukedchat I've written idiots guides for our VLE to try toencourage other staff members to use it, but they nodand then don't do much!

20:11:40 eylanezekielInnovation is an iterative process of substantial positiveimprovement, for the many, by a few. #ukedchat

20:11:53 janwebb21@hlmrmo #ukedchat and what about peer coaching?team teaching? does that encourage or inhibit?

20:12:03 ICTmagic@hlmrmo The 'appropriateness' point is well taken. Iwas think in more general terms. #ukedchat

20:12:13 hlmrmo@janwebb21 Agree. Time to try new things would givea better understanding as opposed to knowing a fewkey features #ukedchat

20:12:40 janwebb21@susanelkinjourn I love this sort of idea as a "get overit" method.... http://t.co/x5xCwByp #ukedchat

20:12:47 russellwareham#ukedchat provide video / presentation guides thatallow users to work at their own pace and check ifunsure.

20:12:50 jodieworld@lizdudley I made videos instead of written guidesafter a while. worked much better than written I found#ukedchat

20:12:52 AndyGFarsley@KaronMcB does it have to be results driven, surelythe obvious engagement some children get in theirlearning is ample evidence #ukedchat

20:12:56 scrumdown@lizdudley #ukedchat like wise I too have writtenguides but no found modelling good practice muchmore successful

20:12:56 davidhunter@ICTmagic t'is but the quill and ink of modern society#ukedchat like opting out of handwriting

20:13:36 cherrylkd@mattbuxton10 Good idea. ICT experts can be offputting for teachers lacking confidence. Use others who

20:13:53 Jon_Torbitt@janwebb21 @hlmrmo how about immersion days toexperience and try/play with useful tech with peermentors + NO writing/assessment #ukedchat

20:13:59 janwebb21RT @ictmagic: @PeterSpencer88 But why is there ischild/adult divide? Will it always be there with the latest

tech? #ukedchat20:14:03 eylanezekiel

#ukedchat technology will always scare many -because it moves so fast.

20:14:06 richardblaize#ukedchat - The use of it must have a definiteobjective/outcome at the end otherwise engagementwon't happen.

20:15:49 oldandrewuk#ukedchat Although I use a lot of technology, I tend tofind it is over-rated: http://t.co/u8Z5hpYg

20:15:55 Sarahloooo#ukedchat Keep the areas of focus narrow for reluctantteachers, they will be more likely to have a go and willget to know strategies well.

20:15:57 ICTmagic@nickotkdIV In what situations/applications? Are theybuilding their language repertoire through using tech?#ukedchat

20:16:05 smnhunt#ukedchat Force all to use tech. Our radio stationwasn't getting used, so introduced class assembly style

20:42:45 tmeekyIMO iPads are far from perfect for Edn (cos notdesigned for) ... let's look beyond the chic andfashionable appeal #ukedchat

20:43:10 mattbuxton10@oldandrewuk @ethinking @mrpeel O/s teachingmeans kids learn lots, doesn't matter what they use todo so? If ICT helps, use it #ukedchat

20:43:13 LearningSpyRT @lizdudley: #ukedchat technology won't cure badteaching > VERY true

20:43:16 MattOswin@tmeeky Is the hardware more important than the

software? #ukedchat

20:43:19 BaldWorm@Jon_Torbitt @MrWickensPE @susanelkinjourn BestiPad app for us is Audioboo: record learningconversations forever #ukedchat

20:43:19 janwebb21@jwinchester25 sooooo true! have you seen whatpeople like @lanky_boi_ray are doing? #ukedchat

20:43:28 syded06@janwebb21 the ability to display your ipad screenthrough the projector wirelessly and it is on both#ukedchat

20:43:31 RavenEllison Refusing to teach with tech is a form of neglect that canlead to forms of deprivation, reduce lifeopportunities+increase risks #ukedchat

20:43:33 Vickycarl@AndrewFarmer80 to get my Y2's on to the class blogquickly I have laminated our blog qr code. Then putlinks on the blog to use #ukedchat

20:43:34 Carlsberg40@TaffTykeC @ideas_factory @syded06 'if they want'being the important phrase there I think? #ukedchat

20:43:36 MrWickensPE@AndrewFarmer80 @vickycarl May have a #qrcodeslinking to a video explanation of how to answer thequestions. #ukedchat

20:43:37 eslweb@weteachhistory @EmathsUK Let's face it the basicshave been around for at least 30 years... If anythingPCs easier to use now. #ukedchat

20:44:17 oldandrewuk@mattbuxton10 @ethinking @mrpeel #ukedchat Butby the same token: if it doesn't, don't.

20:44:20 MrWickensPE@AndrewFarmer80 @vickycarl allows the teacher toeasily see students who may be struggling. Makesresources interactive. #ukedchat

20:44:20 ethinking#ukedchat @oldandrewuk @mrpeel agreed but anoutstanding teacher examines any innovation & uses ifit has impact #bloodsweat&tears

20:44:23 aknill@tmeeky oh as an old hand in the teach game I lovemy tech but surprised at reluctance amongst peers esp.Younger colleagues #ukedchat

20:44:24 tmeekyWe need to develop students' intrinsic motivation tolearn without tech and with tech (when tech is the righttool) #ukedchat

20:44:30 janwebb21@tmeeky cross platform applications are crucial if weare to have sustainability in schools/ byod etc#ukedchat

20:44:32 MichelleDhillon@mrwickenspe @Jon_Torbitt @SusanElkinJournWe're just using a simple blog teamed with a socialnetwork. Engagement is incredible #ukedchat

20:44:36 PPotterEffective pedagogy with the smart use of tech shouldbe shared widely #ukedchat

20:44:39 cherrylkd@ICTwitz Brilliant. Back to digital leaders. If ch areable, let them be teacher. Role reversal #ukedchat

20:44:47 TaffTykeC@raisechildrens @moreolives does that just not makeit more important to provide tech opps in school?
