Strategic ICT advice for schools

I recently posted an article relating to 'Simple steps to understand ICT' (posted 10th Aug) which is a must read for teachers who may be a little bemused with the sheer volume of available elearning services, and the question of which ones may best suit their school.

I have found another piece relating more to the organisation and strategy of ICT implementation, which I hope will compliment my original post by offering more of an advisory and planning angle to the topic. This link is from BECTA and is called 'Moving your Organisation Foward with ICT' and it covers some very relevant points such as 'your staff and ICT', 'developing ICT partnerships', and 'using ICT to help students develop life skills'.

Please access http://ferl.becta.org.uk/display.cfm?page=847 where you can view an interactive diagram and advice, and you can also link to the whole BECTA document by following the 'Moving Your Organisation Forward with ICT' hyperlink.

It makes for an interesting read and may help to clear up some strategic issues that school are currently facing with this necessary shift in teaching practices.
