e-Learning How can it support and enhance a ‘growth mindset’ culture at Belmont Community School? SESSION 3 –

Aims of our e-Learning hub session today: To analyse the results of our self-designed pupil e-Learning survey and identify emerging priorities. To develop the core principles of our ‘e- Learning charter’. To gain an insight into the cross-curricular e- Learning resource memrise.

Pupil e-Learning survey What do the results of the survey tell us about the current situation?  Is there any potential for ‘inequality’ in provision?  Are the students ‘ready’ for e-Learning?  What does the survey tell us about the students’ current experiences of e-Learning?  What do we learn about pupils’ ‘attitudes’ towards e-Learning?

DISCUSSION ON PUPIL E-LEARNING SURVEY: Are parents likely to want to pay for 3G/4G for students to use in school? Reliability of network: lots of students working online at the same time.

Survey gives a positive impression of students’ readiness for e-Learning. Students will need to be taught how to use technology productively and independently. Edmodo has created mixed experiences: survey shows 49% don’t like it. Issues with restrictions in school?
