| Abstract | Headteacher Bob Quartermain appealed for parents help to fund the introduction of handheld computers to Year 4 pupils at Wilsden Primary School near Bradford. One year on, daily use of Educational Digital Assistants has boosted pupil confidence and engaged them with their learning. The technology works in and out of the classroom to improve literacy and enable instant assessment.Teaching assistant Jane Booth works with pupils in small groups to record pupils reading and encourage collaborative learning. Year 4 teacher Jo Scott and ICT co-ordinator Jackie Renton use the EDAs to enable instant assessment and personalised learning in the classroom. Staff benefit from the mobility and fun factor of the technology, as the children complete an educational treasure trail. And in a training session the Year 5 teachers discuss ways to use the EDAs to enhance learning in preparation for adopting the technology in their own classrooms. |
