The last Computers in Classrooms of the school year has now been published. The main items in it are:
- News
- Using computers to raise standards in mathematics
- The White Paper: your child, your schools, our future: building a 21st century school system
- Amazing Greats
The News section contains details of our games software prize draw winner, the revised publication schedule of the special issues of the newsletter and, crucially, details of an opportunity to submit a proposal to speak at BETT 2010. The BETT show is the largest educational technology sow in Britain, and receives visitors from all over the world.
In ‘Using computers to raise standards in mathematics’ I give you a sneak preview of one of the interviews I carried out at the recent Cars Maths in Motion event. I interviewed the schoolgirl who has been designing the track for the past three years. You can read about the event itself in the reference given below.
This issue also looks in depth at the latest White Paper in terms of its implications for ICT teachers.
Finally, ‘Amazing Greats’ looks at the most popular articles on the ICT in Education website over the past two and a half months, and draws a few conclusions about influence which may be of interest to (new) bloggers.
