Lesson idea. The case study examines on barriers and enablers in the uptake of digital tools for teaching and learning, with an emphasis on issues involved in sharing resources and good practice between peers. It will explore pupils' views on using' Moodle' and their ideas of engaging with other forms of digital technologies. The particular technologies focussed on by this case study are: VLEs and tools embedded within VLEs and using OERs as a tool for sharing practice.
Teaching approach. This cross curricula(i) case study focusses on Digital Literacy, in particular using E-skills(topic) to: encourage other teachers to engage with new tools and to introduce innovative methods of assessment. The case study also focussed on the impact of institutional engagement with digital tools, and how this impacts on individual teachers and pupils. It also highlights the issues around producing OERs from individual practice.
