Sir Mark Grundy, Executive Principal, Shireland Collegiate Academy
Quite inspirational talk about creating a Learning Gateway, where there is a Family Portal as well as one for learning. The Gateway is content rich and a team of developers create learning materials in consultation with staff & students.
Students were asked how do you get people to do things they don't necessarily want to, they said create a league table. Spelling quizzes were developed reporting to a league table and students competed to be top of the league.
They have incorporated problem pages etc.
Developed with Sharepoint platform and now they support 127 other schools.

Umm but there needs to be balance, read James Woudhuysen's comments about being dazzled by the glamour of youth & technology
