e-LearningHow can it support and enhance a ‘growth

mindset’ culture at Belmont Community School?

SESSION 3 – 15.01.15

Aims of our e-Learning hub

session today: To analyse the results of our self-designed pupil e-Learning survey and identify emerging priorities.

To develop the core principles of our ‘e-Learning charter’.

To gain an insight into the cross-curricular e-Learning resource memrise.

Pupil e-Learning survey

What do the results of the survey tell us about the current situation?

Is there any potential for ‘inequality’ in provision?

Are the students ‘ready’ for e-Learning?

What does the survey tell us about the students’ current experiences of e-Learning?

What do we learn about pupils’ ‘attitudes’ towards e-Learning?

I like it very much

I don’t like it at all

DISCUSSION ON PUPIL E-LEARNING SURVEY:• Are parents likely to want to pay for 3G/4G for

students to use in school?• Reliability of network: lots of students working

online at the same time.• We need to ask ourselves whether or not BYOD is

better than a laptop per 4 or 5 students.• Having class sets of, e.g. iPads takes away

inequality.• Survey gives a positive impression of students’

readiness for e-Learning.• Students will need to be taught how to use

technology productively and independently.• Edmodo has created mixed experiences: survey

shows 49% don’t like it.• Issues with restrictions in school?

Belmont Community School e-Learning charter

Aim: To formulate an e-Learning charter for our school with the following sections:

1. RATIONALE (Why do we want/need effective e-Learning in

school?)

2. LEARNING DISPOSITIONS (Which dispositions should e-Learning nurture and how will it happen?

3. SAFETY (What are the ‘ground rules’ of e-Learning to ensure that it is safe for students?)
