UPGRADING THE VLE

This is a blog that I hope will monitor the changes that will be made to use blogs, video and podcasts to improve the qualitY of the learning by pupils in the school. It is intended to reach out to parents to provide additional tools that they can use to support their childs educational development while in the home environment.

All lesson plans will be available on-line together with all the resources used in the class. In addition further resources can be added by parents or students and a forum developed to assist pupils to answer questions about the current topic in more detail. Pupils will be encouraged to become more independent learners.

The scheme of work and samples of work will also be available, to use both as exemplars but also as evidence of standards being achieved. It is intended that the assessment of all work should be transparent. It is the authors intention to blend learning using VLE into face-to-face lessons across the curricilum.
