Intro:

This is a Project about Digital Futures and Teacher Education. It is a collaboration between SHU and TUoS. It is a JISC funded project

 The aim of this project is to produce an open textbook "Digital Literacy (DL) for Open and Networked Learning" based upon two strands of development that are mutually reinforcing: the first is to create materials for a module accredited by the two partner HEI for trainee teachers on their PGCE courses, in line with the HEA Professional Standards Frameworks and the Professional Standards for Teachers, involving the (re)use of OERs and associated pedagogical design; and the second is to develop guidance on practice in teaching and learning in the school sector involving digital literacy.

We are approaching you because we think you are interested in developing your school's capacity for using technology in new ways and to develop your pupils' digital literacy skills. Your school is identified as a training school/ academy/ CTC etc 

Schools will get £1,500. This money is intended to be for training (£500) and £1000 for dissemination. The school will also get 5 days of consultancy. 


The commitment we are asking from you is ....  I am not sure what we are asking from them

 

The project will offer your school the following benefits ......
