  1. Good practice using the MLE and lessons we’ve learned –from a secondary school perspective Russell Bryant Walthamstow School for Girls

  2. Context • Walthamstow school for Girls • 900 pupils • In temporary accommodation for 18 months (ex-Warwick School for Boys building) • Moved back to our Church Hill site January 2010. • Started using Fronter in September 2008 • June 2010 approximately 10,000 logins per month • All classrooms have PC and IWB • 700 ICT devices throughout the school

  3. Where to start? • Get the leadership team on board – an MLE is BIG! • Designate key roles – Fronter Champion (curriculum), Fronter Champion (Technical), ICT Reps – one per faculty – Time • Ensure that broadband and hardware can do the job • Training for all staff – feedback from all staff – what are the blockers and enablers? • Plan – overall structures – buildings; corridors; rooms; groups and access control • Plan – initial focus + training + access to PCs • Consider how the MLE can add value to existing structures

  4. Building success • Monitor and evaluate - feed this back into project development (portfolio tool) • Bring in other stake holders – students, parents, governors – How does an MLE meet their needs? • Continuously develop content and begin to experiment with a wide range of tools e.g. Forums, Tests, Hand-ins, Courses and Fronter Documents • Provide constant training opportunities • Share good practice

  5. Key documents • Annual student and staff ICT audit • Staff feedback sheets • Training – Fronter User level 1, Fronter User Level 2, Fronter Developer Level 1 • School Improvement plan • Job descriptions for key personnel • Case studies to showcase success • www.wfmle.co.uk • MLE Waltham Forest 2010 Fronter room

  6. Top Tips • Develop an information feedback loop – Take a look at successful social networking sites. • Don’t assume that great content will automatically be used - Be pro-active in selling your MLE to stakeholders • Be aware of access and security issues – it’s crucial to get these right. • Ensure that the leadership team take a lead and that time and/or money are available for developing the MLE. • Continuous training and evaluation. • And finally – only use an mle when it adds value.
