Anthony Bek School - SMART Board™ interactive whiteboards
Learning Technologies supporting Assessment for Learning (AfL)
Over recent years a broad range of technologies have become a central part of how we teach and learn. In addition to these technologies, various software applications are also used in schools for management, accounting and assessment. However, at Anthony Bek Community Primary School in Mansfield, an ICT resource normally used in learning activities is being used to support their AfL initiative.
Challenge
Like many schools, Anthony Bek’s teachers spent valuable time reinventing the wheel when it came to lesson and assessment activities.SMART Solution
Up until this time, the use of SMART Board interactive whiteboards was purely for lesson activities, to encourage children to be engaged in their learning. However, as the teachers were all very comfortable using the SMART Notebook™ software format, it was agreed that this was the ideal format for collating and presenting the goals and assessment criteria of each lesson activity.Result
Today, Anthony Bek’s teachers are now all at the same development points, with shared resources across the intranet that everyone, but primarily the pupils, can benefit from.- Tags: AfL, Interactive Whiteboard, Primary, SMART
