DESCRIPTION
A plethora of ICT related resources exist, encompassing hardware, software and online content. In school, many, although by no means all, of the resources you encounter have been created specifically with an educational market in mind. Those who develop educational software and online content for schools do so with their own assumptions about how children learn and such assumptions inevitably determine the affordances of the digital resources they create. During the lecture we will consider some theories of learning and how these might influence software development. You discuss some of the resources you may have encountered on placement and have an opportunity to investigate some of the educational software installed on the Lulham computers.We develop criteria by which educational resources can be evaluated and you apply these to a number of resources.We revist the use of VLEs in primary education as platforms for sharing online resources.IN SESSION TASK• You investigate resources linked to a curriculum topic and age range of your choice, evaluating examples against shared criteria and contributing to a collaborative document.FOLLOW UP• Read Becta (2007), Quality principles for digital resources. Compare and contrast the Becta criteria to those agreed by your group during the lecture.

Approaching £2 billion has been spent on ICT in schools during the past decade. As noted earlier, governing bodies are expected to apply the four principles of best value in ensuring the school and the country gets value for money from this significant investment. Local authority financial procedures and auditing ensure that the principle of ‘Competition’ is well met. This is not always the case for the other three principles which means that some schools do not obtain good value for money.
‘Compare performance with others to see where improvements could be made.’
‘Challenge why and how a service is being provided.’ ‘Consult stakeholders’
