Whilst there are obvious benefits from Learning Platforms for Secondary Schools and their pupils — what are the benefits for Key stage 1 and Foundation pupils?
As with both the primary and secondary sectors, there is a commitment in the Foundation Stage to use ICT to enhance learning and teaching across all areas of education. The use of technology — for example digital photos, video, electronic toys and the use of internet — will help children at Foundation Stage begin to recognise the importance of ICT. The concept of learning platforms will underpin the use of ICT as an important tool in learning and teaching. Additionally a learning platform has real potential for extending parental engagement to support young learners. A number of Surrey infant schools have started implementing a Learning Platform and VT Four S will consider how their expertise can best be shared. Early indications are that even for very young children a learning platform is a motivational and engaging resource. It is recognised that the use of a Learning Platform with younger children needs to complement other methods of supporting their learning and not replace them.
