ICT Open Days

L2L Open Days

The day is aimed at colleagues charged with developing and integrating ICT across a whole school and colleagues who are interested in seeing how ICT can engage learners and enhance learning.

The day will give ample opportunity to see how ICT is fully integrated within lesson planning across all subjects and lessons at Cramlington. Delegates will have a tour of the school to see how we have provided ICT access in a range of innovative ways.

You will also see how we are beginning to take advantage of the 89% of time that students are not in front of teachers by utilising our VLE.

The day is aimed at colleagues charged with developing, implementing or teaching a Learning to Learn course. Alvin Toffler said that the illiterate of the 21st Century will be those that cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Cramlington Community High School has take this to heart and runs a discrete Learning to Learn course in 4 hours per week of curriculum time for all year nine students (our intake year).

This Learning to Learn course goes far beyond mind mapping and memory techniques and seeks to develop learner skills and dispositions. We aim to produce autonomous thinkers and learners. The Learning to Learn course is designed to be a first step in developing learning to learn across the whole curriculum.

The Open day will explore our journey towards where we are now and some of the ups and downs along the way.

There will be an opportunity to talk to students on the Learning to Learn course and to visit Learning to Learn lessons.
