To enable St Martins Primary School to get the best return on
its investment in ICT a team was established to look at how best to integrate
the use of technology tools into the classroom. The result is the development
of a philosophy and style of teaching that moves way beyond the simple
implementation of computers...we have defined and developed our own holistic
model for creating an effective learning environment in today's classroom.
Brainways has identified key components for successful teaching
and learning. You will be familiar with all the individual keys. When
they are innovatively integrated into a classroom resource they provide
a powerful framework for great teaching and learning.
Together the Brainways Keys to Teaching and Learning form the
core of our planning and resource development - our products provide teachers
with possibilities and opportunities to share the magic and passion that
is created with great teaching and learning.
"As we integrate information and communication
technologies into our programmes, our classrooms will only become information
rich and learning rich if we attend to all the features which enhance
learning"Lynn Davie & David Allibon
