10. So what next ...
• Do we need to wait for the end of each
term to let a global audience know what is
happening at Bishop Challoner?
• Could we make more effective use of the
digital resources available?
• Empower our young digital leaders.

11. Vision for Learning

12. Vision for Learning
• Learning devices
will be used from
Y7-Y11 (from Oct
2013)
• All pupils (Y7-11) have access to
learning devices (from Oct 2013)
• The scale of the project is bringing
national recognition to the school
(Toshiba Ambassadors and NTAB,
New Technology Advisory Board)
• We are now Self Maintainers, which
has resulted in the introduction of
qualified Toshiba Technicians in the
school.
• A massive amount of administrative
work involved in supporting these
devices. This has been
fundamental to the success of the
netbook project.

13. So what next ...
• The focus is on quality over quantity and
making greater use of the netbook for
learning.
• With greater reliability and increased
performance how can we use these
devices to support teaching and learning?
