2nd session: Feedback and investment returns on Information and Communication Technology in Education (ICTE).
The state and other groups are investing in systems, platforms and increasingly in educational resources. Evaluation and feedback are essential management tools for academies, schools, funding agencies and suppliers who want to respond more effectively to changing needs. Who should be making these evaluations? The head-teacher, the agency, the supplier? Several practices coexist… If there is a norm, what is best practice?

For several years local groups have been investing in technological solutions with the aim of maintaining after-school links: broadband networks to alleviate digital deprivation and allow all pupils to develop computer skills and connect to digital resources through Digital Workspaces; other groups have opted for mobile solutions, investing in laptops (Landes, Ordina13…) and MP3 players (iPods and the like).
