Harnessing Technology: Next Generation Learning 03
Ministerial Foreword Jim Knight MP Minister for Schools and Learners,
Department for Children, Schools and Families Bill Rammell MP Minister for
Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education, Department for Innovation,
Universities and Skills It is 3 years because we published Harnessing Technology:
Transforming Learning and Children’s Services, taking off our plans for making
use of records and communications technologies throughout our region. Much has
befell in that point. Real development is being made and we're one of the
leading nations in the international inside the use of era for studying; at
least £10 billion has been invested due to the fact 1999.
Many colleges,
faculties, universities and training vendors are the usage of technology in
progressive approaches to elevate requirements and enhance learning.
Critically, freshmen are utilizing era to help flexible gaining knowledge of
stimulated via their non-public use of generation. There is a tremendous
schedule for trade for the education and capabilities device over the c oming years.
For our country to compete in the future we need to significantly improve our
getting to know, improve our abilties and increase our expertise and
understanding. Both the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF)
and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) see
technology as a vital tool to help reap our targets as set out inside the
Children’s Plan, World Class Skills and Higher Education at Work – High Skills:
High Value. We want to make certain carriers and inexperienced persons use
generation well in assisting those pursuits. Developments in era hold to convey
new opportunities. The ways we use it at domestic, on the pass, at paintings,
and for enjoyment are continually increasing and make real variations to our
lives. Technology has – and could always have – huge potential to alternate
things for the better. Equally the risks it creates have grown too and we need
to ensure that we guard against these. We therefore requested Becta to replace
the approach to reflect those modifications and to address the fundamental
challenges we are facing throughout the system. Both our Departments see the
sturdy want for a approach which helps newcomers of all ages and in all sectors
as they flow from one part of the schooling and capabilities machine to every
other. Technology has a principal position to play in enabling services to be
greater progressive, responsive and coherent, in approaches which might now not
be attainable without the opportunities era gives.
04 Harnessing Technology: Next Generation Learning This
approach is the outcome of an extensive speak. We commend it to you. It sets
out a imaginative and prescient for wherein we are going and genuinely
indicates how running in partnership will create a device that is assured in
its use of technology. Learners of all ages want the threat to use era nicely
to guide their gaining knowledge of. In a few cases this learning is an funding
for the destiny; in others it's miles extra informal; but importantly it is
able to cause greater productivity and prosperity, private success, and a more
potent community and a fairer society. In many ways freshmen are main the way
in the usage of era and we want to concentrate to them.
They are entitled to
the fine we are able to provide them and we in reality do need a
world-magnificence approach if we are to compete as a rustic for the future. So
none folks can forget about technology now – it's miles a part of the learner’s
world and is consequently a essential part of our world. Becta is tasked with
leading and implementing this strategy, but it's far a project to all of our
transport partners throughout the sector, as well as to Government. We sit up
for seeing it develop over the approaching years. Jim Knight MP Bill Rammell MP
Harnessing Technology: Next Generation Learning
05 Preface Andrew Pinder Chairman, Becta Stephen Crowne Chief Executive, Becta
Ministers have asked Becta to study and refresh the Harnessing Technology
Strategy to ensure that it's miles aligned with the wishes of freshmen of every
age, parents and employers, and that it meets the demanding situations facing
us today and in the future. In reviewing this method we done an in depth and
stimulating series of activities and seminars all through the fall of 2007 involving
nearly 2,000 specialists, policy makers and practitioners.
These generated a
wealth of information at the changing environment and plenty good
recommendation at the development of the approach. We have taken into
consideration this carefully inside the light of the needs which glide from the
these days published Children’s Plan and DIUS strategies for competencies
improvement. The function of era to support improvements to learning across the
syst em stays relevant, but now the context has broadened. Children and their
households are more and more on the centre of a wide range of connected
offerings and there's a recognized want for paintings-associated abilties and
greater HE graduates to enhance national competitiveness and innovation.
Technology is more and more used in other sectors to provide personalized
services. Learners of every age use technology for informal getting to know,
pastime and leisure. This is matched by means of growing expectancies from
newcomers, parents and employers to make excellent use of era to assist
education and schooling.@ Read More minisecond
