Welcome to the autumn edition of the Primary ICT Newsletter
Well, I would like to say that the dust has settled after all the post-election upheaval but unfortunately I can’t! BECTA is now counting it’s last days and the government clawed back 50% of the last year of the Harnessing Technology funding. We all wait with baited breath for the October spending review and the November White Paper on Education to find out what will happen to LA services and school funding. In the meantime, I have been busy developing a new ICT course catalogue for 2010 – 11 and re-developing the ICT Development Plan to ensure that it sets the direction of travel for primary school ICT for the next three years (ever the optimist!).
The contents of this newsletter are available as links at the top of each page for ease of navigation and are as follows:
- e-safety update including CEOPs back to school letter for parents and Facebook app
- ICT development meetings and the new plan
- The Lighthouse for Learning double login issue
- ICT course catalogue 2010 – 11
- NELMA news
- The Self Review Tool and e-safety Mark assessments
- Useful websites
As with the previous newsletters you can add comments or questions to the various articles if you wish to by adding them to the comments box at the bottom of the page. Let me know what you think to the format and if you have any questions (which you don’t want to blog) feel free to email me at yvonne.walker@nelincs.gov.uk
