Although I hadn’t planned to initially, I ended up watching the entire keynote from New York about the launch of textbooks on the Apple iPad, as well as changes to iTunesU. 

ICT curriculum.  As I prepare to attend the BETT show this weekend (annual trade fair for education and technology at Olympia) I have had time to reflect on the issue of the ICT curriculum, brought to the front of my mind by two occurrences this week. 

I start by wishing everyone a very happy new year and welcoming them back to the College.  Although it has been a shorter week, I know for many of the staff and children it hasn’t felt like it! 

I wrote to the staff today to thank them for the most recent events, including the junior production last Friday, Year 11 party, Years 5-8 disco, Christmas lunch, nativity assembly, carol services and the final assembly.
