  4. Students’ use of technologiesTop 10

  5. Research Project III:Independent High schools - Devices

  6. Independent High schools – Software/apps

  7. Push vs Pull (or both)? • Pull – learners actively seek out or request information for themselves • requires learner initiative/action/skill/autonomy • Push – information is sent to learners automatically, without effort on their part

  8. Recommendations Recommendation 1: Learner training & support • Help students use the tools they have • Many students have the tools and access to content & resources, but do not have the know-how for learning  • Know your students’ technologies & learning preferences • Work with learners • Help them develop their skills further

  9. Recommendations Recommendation 2: Planning • Plan using data drawn from current use, both with university/school systems and the users’ own personal technologies of choice. • Learners have a technological identity as well as a linguistic and cultural identity • Mobility is key • Be nimble, not locked-in

  10. Recommendations Recommendation 3: Control • Reflect deeply on your locus of control, what you provide, what you support, allow or permit and what you do not. • Access: provision, responsibility & choice • Duty of care (esp. for schools) • Push & pull
