New initiative will enhance professional skills of ICT and non-ICT teachers and help to transform ICT-related learning
An England-wide programme to help teachers bring technology more effectively into the classroom has been launched by The Open University and e-skills UK.
Funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), the £5.6million programme will help education professionals, from primary through to secondary and college level, build their information and communications technology (ICT) skills, stay up to date with the latest developments and meet the needs of an increasingly technology-savvy generation of young people.
The new programme will help teachers of all subjects make effective use of ICT as an inspirational and effective learning tool and boost the technology skills of their students.
There will be a special focus on building the professional competence of technology teachers, providing them, among other things, with first hand experience of the ways in which IT is used in business and to drive innovation.
