Innovate (vb): to do things differently in order to do them better
Why innovate?
to enable greater creativity, flexibility, learner input
to deliver a more personalised educational system
to foster new skills amongst learners.
to develop new relationships and ways of working,
to update approaches
to harness the collective social capital and skills of school communities
to deliver better learning and teaching.
What do we mean by transformative innovation?
not just simple, incremental improvement or addition
radical innovation that challenges our assumptions about how we do things.
asking questions about the status quo, about accepted practice and about the prevailing ‘logic’ that permeates the system.
Taking a creative approach to problems which breaks down existing patterns of mind and develops new ways of doing and seeing things.

“ Powerful tensions exist between traditional curricula -based on well-defined content and rules for students to learn and be able to reproduce – and the open, skills-based, student-centred approaches supported by ICT.
Dominant curricular and organisational patterns in school were not designed for the Internet age, and often inhibit its effective use. ICT offers some gain for traditional curriculum delivery, but its full educational potential cannot be realised without radical changes in school structures and methodologies . ”
