Raising attainment in English and mathematics at KS2 through the effective use of ICT TY020 / A15
Summary
This course will support you to develop a wider understanding of how ICT can be used to support learning in mathematics and English, with specific focus on engaging your learners and raising attainment/progress in KS2.
We will begin the two days by looking at the equipment and software that is available to support learning in school. Over the first day, we will look at the planning of your own curriculum and how ICT can be used to enhance it. The second day will take a more ‘hands on’ approach to discovering the uses of ICT. Using a combination of mobile devices, online content, hardware and software we will discover a range of ICT activities that can be used to strategically enhance your maths and English lessons. For example:
- collecting representing and interpreting data
- using comics in writing genres and maths
- persuade your audience with a radio program
- 3D modelling for free
- fast and easy animation for spelling, S.P.A.G, maths methods and geometry
- using programming to support the delivery of geometry
- Google Story Builder, Fakebook, build your own SMS and more
- using a green screen for filming
- creating and using interactive quizzes
- sharing online content through QR codes
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course. Course fees vary for participants outside the UK. Please contact enquiries@slcs.ac.uk for more information.
