learning
most e
ff
ective for individual 
learning
Most interesting aspect for 
individual learning
pair work
whole class or one to one lessons
The children are learning new things in 
a new and fun way.
Time management can be 
tricky with children working 
individually
Individual research and information 
gathering
Children can self correct using spelling 
and grammar tools
my school is very badly 
resourced. I have never been 
able to give this a go
They are growing up in an era of an 
ever-changing technological 
environment and already have a vast 
amount of prior knowledge already 
attained.
I do not believe interactive 
technology to be effective when 
children are not given a clear 
outline of what they are using it 
for. Children need to be given 
some direction before and 
throughout using it.
Interactive technology is an 
excellent resource to expand 
children's prior knowledge on a 
topic being studied, or to allow 
them do some research for a 
current classroom project. Pair 
work with interactive tech is very 
effective as the children learn from 
each other.
The ease at which they navigate new 
websites and their ability to scan 
information and take the important 
points from it.
Listening without the 
requirement of giving feedback. 
Anything that requires a response 
that can be measured. 
The ability to allow children to work 
independently, at their own level and to 
often let the learning be driven by 
them. 
there is a big difference 
between children's ability to 
use software and applications
Ipads-the children get half an hour of 
ipads a weeks. During this time, the 
children practice their letters, play 
interactive maths games, read for the 
teacher and use phonic games to help 
break down words.
Whole class performing the 
same task
Individual discovery learning
Individual project work
Unplanned lessons or 
unresearched applications 
made by the teacher. I think it is 
of vital importance that 
teachers, themselves need time 
to explore apps and critically 
evaluate them (in seeing their 
educational worth before 
inviting the children to use 
them.
Tiny achieveable tickable targets - 
simple step by step instructions 
which are pre-thought and easy to 
follow to ensure all abilities are 
catered for. Appropriate language 
needs to taught discretely prior to 
using IT e.g. tabs, power, interface, 
apps (using visual cues). 
Pupil enjoyment or satisfaction. All 
children love to handle/use IT.
