Editor's Notes
- I wanted to start by sharing Becta’s new vision. During the last few months Becta has been re-organising and refocusing to ensure that it can deliver against the enhanced remit that we were given in March 2007. This was to lead the coordination, development and delivery of the government’s strategy to harness the power of technology to help improve education and skills and children’s services. As part of this process we have developed a new vision, a new mission and new values. I want to mention a couple of key points about this vision. Firstly, the desired outcome is about learning and learners. It’s concerned with educational outcomes, not technology for technologies sake. It’s about learners succeeded in part through the enabling power of technology. Secondly, it is not just about technology but it is about innovation : “introducing something new”. So our vision is concerned with the successful exploitation of new ideas and technologies.
- The school caters for children and young people from the ages of 2–19. Its pupils have needs ranging from severe autism to profound and multiple learning difficulties. Many have physical or medical conditions as well.
- Summarises what Becta is developing in the Vision for Technology in Learning project. The part that is ready now and being used in the forums is the first bullet point (key expectations)
