Naace Strategic Conference 2008

Dave Whyley, Learning Technologies Headteacher Consultant, Wolverhampton LA
How should the 21st century learning landscape evolve? How do we meet the challenges of the ECM agenda, the 2020 vision report and BSF; not to mention the challenges of the growing confidence of a whole generation of ‘Digital pioneers’? Wolverhampton has risen from relative obscurity in the field of learning using technology in the last five years. At the core of this progress is a dynamic vision for learning around which many of the recent developments in teaching and learning with technology are beginning to coalesce. Learner voice has been key to many of the innovative developments within the LA, as have key partnerships with the commercial world and other LAs. This presentation will explore the way in which one small LA is rising to the challenge of transforming learning for a whole generation of 21st century citizens who expect mobility, creativity and instant access to their learning and their learning community.
