In my CPD events, I always use a slide from John Lasseter, which says that it's not the technology it's what you do with it that counts... Disney Pixar are the masters of using technology to create movies, but what matters is the story..
The OFSTED report had this to say about Primary ICT use:
They (teachers) often used ICT to entertain and engage pupils and missed opportunities to develop real geographical learning.
ICT was generally under-used by pupils to improve their learning in geography. Its most frequent use was to research information. When this was done well, pupils were directed to specific websites and clearly understood the need to select, synthesise and organise information. When pupils were given parameters which were too broad and did not clearly specify expected outcomes, work was often substandard or was just directly downloaded from internet sites.
For more appropriate use of ICT in Primary, you need to visit our Primary Geography Champions NING
More OFSTED feedback to come next week...
