Today I delivered an impromptu ICT inservice session with the whole school staff. We looked at the new school website, our blog, our del.icio.us and our flickr accounts.

We are trying to get more folk to take up blogging to share what is going on in their classes and just promote ICT use in regular ways in teh classroom. I think there will be a few takers but there seems to be quite a sense of fear of ICT. I know quite a few folk are busy enough just doing what they are doing, without any of these add-ons… but there is so much potential using these tools, which basically do all the work for you once you’ve worked out the basics…

We’re trying to get away from a limited amount of people managing the website which takes a while to update via council ICT services. This way we would have a stronger, up to date, web presence, without being dependent on any one person.
