Editor's Notes
- Lucy Gallagher, Depute Headteacher, Fiona Barker and Wendy French, Lead Teachers
- Current position Sciennes Primary School 655 children in 22 classes. Began using iPads in 2012 1:1 iPads for school AND home use.
- Next Steps – how to sustain and expand 1:1 and give shared access to all our children?
- City of Edinburgh has had a long held aspiration, now achieved, to facilitate anytime, anywhere learning, as and when required. Infrastructure in place. Designed with anytime anywhere learning in mind.
- Terminology nomenclature of different devices over years. 1998 high ratio desktops : pupils initially. Consequent reduction in ratios when we upgraded some desktops to laptops BUT massive impact on teacher use of ICT when given access to personal laptop. Looked for long time for smaller, cheaper devices for little hands. Palmtop, PDA, uMPC. In 2007 our 1:1 journey began with Handheld computers. What have we learned? Personal ownership - looked after. Still in good nick.
- Introduced netbooks in library. No buzz. Not one member of staff asked to borrow. fMPC - fairly mobile. Introduced iPads – ALL keen. Clamouring. Cannot keep up with demand. Why? Why does device matter?
- Why have we chosen iPads? Why does City of Edinburgh strongly recommend iPads?
- Why iPads? National 1:1 pilot launch l14th March 2012 Ease of use very young to old – P1-P7 – HT, SfL, Janny, PE Teacher. Remarkable. Obviates previous handholding hurdles we experienced in getting beyond the technology to the learning and teaching. Economies - jotters, photocopying, printing ink, paper, books, dictionaries, cameras, video cameras, scanners... Economies of scale??? Why 1:1? One each – school and home use has most impact. Can compare with shared use in 4 classes – 1 each but remain in school and timetabled. Personal is still collaborative.
- Started small – 2 then 8 then 16 then class set. Identified champion Wendy French. Wendy directed pace. Another set, so Wendy could have exclusive use with her children. City of Edinburgh provided a third set. Invited to take part in Edinburgh 1:1 pilot – gave us third set. Identified another champion Fiona Barker. Put in P5 and P6. Model is P6/7 but worked in late P5 – implications for best value. 6 month timescale. Planning for our pilot and others in Edinburgh hopefully informed Digital Learning Team’s – excellent - 1:1 Toolkit.
- Used online project management tool. Different type of CPD has emerged. PLE. Time to collaborate and plan. We already believed project would show proof of concept – Hull University documented and robustly evaluated its success. In Edinburgh pilot schools have all now moved to iPads from Android and Netbooks.
- Differentiation. Personalised learning. Choice. Personal yes, but mobile learning is also naturally collaborative, in class and beyond. Increased dialogue about learning. Parents more engaged and now see iPad as a learning device. Increased sharing of learning between pupil, parent and school. Still further scope to expand personal contact with families. Still scope to communicate benefits to all of our parents, not just ones in pilot.
- Pupils can choose when and where to learn. And how to show learning. We have got to know our children better, and to learn what interests and motivates them by what they pursue at home.
- Mike Russell came to Sciennes and was warm and generous with his time, and supportive
- Next Steps – how to sustain and expand 1:1 and give shared access to all our children?
- Hands held – yes, but held together. Single –iOS – platform for learning helps us move forward together.
