Hi all,
What does everyone on this list (and I know there are IT managers for schools in here) typically identify a schools requirements for IT?
Do schools typically need to use productivity software such as word processors and spreadsheets or is there more customized software in use (educational titles and such like).
AllI can remember of school was a large proportion of work done in productivity applications (MS Office), and not really any custom applications.
Cheers,
Jono
Okay - a large proportion of the Curriculum is done on a productivity suite at KS2 (Juniors). At KS1 it tends to be a little more 'specialist' but still a large amount with Office et al. Here's a link to the QCA schemes of work for ICT. They're not compulsary, but they're not bad - and save a lot of work. We modify them for use in our school. Check it out - http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/it/ The digit in the module title (ie. the '1' in '1a' is the year group - so '1a' is done by 5 year olds. I teach year 5 - so I do the '5a' etc. modules...) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo!
