The importance of being innovative and using the Internet in education was driven home at the national Excellence, Improvement and Innovation Conference at the NEC, Birmingham, last week.
Kath Bargh, teaching and learning manager from the groundbreaking Barton Peveril College in Eastleigh, Hampshire, presented a practical session on developing collaborative learning using wireless technologies, including the progress Barton Peveril have made on this innovative project to develop a mobile, wireless-linked, IT classroom.
This project enables students to access information from the Internet and interact with each other electronically within the classroom, providing the technological capacity for collaborative learning in a modern and appealing manner.
Godfrey Glyn, principal from Barton Peveril said it was "an honour for us to be able to share the practices we have found so effective with other learning providers in order to encourage quality improvement across the sector.
"It is important that learning providers have a forum like this to share their ideas, we have taken away ideas from the conference that we may be able to incorporate at Barton Peveril".
Barton Peveril enjoys learning and skills beacon status, meaning it delivers consistently high quality teaching and learning and demonstrates excellent or strong leadership and management.© DeHavilland Information Services plc
