Information: Process involved a learning platform champion in the school staff being identified to work with a local authority eLearning consultant to develop personal skills. The LA Officer initiated sustainable training (team teaching, demonstration lessons, staff meeting input etc) then the platform champion took over, developing her MyClass environment and involving parents in after-school information meetings. All reception pupils were given log-ins, leading to working with their federated junior school "email buddies" to develop their email communication skills. The champion then lef staff sessions, showing time and workload benefits of sharing modules of work across teams and gave informal drop-in sessions for staff who needed more support. Pupils are now driving the project with an expectation that work will be on the platform for them to share with parents. Particularly successful were stories and activities able to be shared with parents, so instead of individually working on their learning platform at home, it has brought parent and child together. Governors have been involved with remote administration for file-storage, information transfer and events calendars (now taken up by Local Authority Governor Development Unit). |
