 I'm here with Andrew Davis from the Clunbury School at the ICT and Education Conference. Thank you for coming to Doha. It's a pleasure to have you here. Could you tell us a little bit about Clunbury and what you're doing there? Yes, certainly. I'm Andrew Davis. I'm the head teacher of Clunbury Prime School in Shropshire. It's a sort of place where mobile phones, signals don't work. GPS doesn't really exist. We have no fiber optics, so our broadband comes from a satellite dish attached to our school. Eye of sight, 10 miles away. And that's our communication. Above all that, we won the Bector, which is a government's lead agency for ICT, awarded the best primary school in 2007 for ICT. Wow. So what sort of ICTs are you using in your school? We use a wide range of different technologies. Everything from PCs to laptops. A lot of handheld technologies. We've got a lot of flip cams, portable technologies, Nintendo DSs. We use a wide range of technologies, MP3 recorders, so children have the ability to actually decide when it's appropriate to use ICT, and they get access to a wide range of resources to help them with their learning. I'm sure a lot of people would say, why would a school in such a remote place embrace technology so much? How do you answer that? That's a good question. I think in rural places, we need to embrace technology far more than schools in an urban town, for example. In the centre of London, some of these schools have access to the ballet, to sort of local orchestras and everything else. In the country, in a very rural location as we are, we don't have access to this, so the way we can do it is through bringing this into the classroom through ICT. Also with our parents, we only see 80% of our parents every now and again, because most of the children are best in the school, and 80% are best in the school. Therefore, our way of communicating with parents is by email, text messaging, through our web, and through our blog. Over the last five years, we've worked quite hard to develop this communication between the school and the parents, but now parents are picking up their iPhones to read our newsletters. So it's been a real advancement in technology. That's great. Here in Doha, you did a couple of sessions on Web 2.0 in schools, which I think is a little bit different than a lot of what people think about in terms of technology in schools. A lot of people think just the infrastructure. Could you tell us a little bit about why you think Web 2.0 is useful and important to schools? I think one of the benefits of Web 2.0 technologies is, first of all, it's widely accessible on the web. You can access it anytime, anywhere, from wherever you are. One of the next benefits is that it's free. There is no cost involved generally in actually using it. So what we'll do, we'll take a particular Web 2.0 technology. We'll see then how we can actually exploit it for educational purposes. The majority are not looking for education. But as teachers, we're always used to taking material, changing it, and adapting it for our pupils. And we do the same with the Web 2.0s. So we'll take a standard piece of Web 2.0 software and we'll say, actually, how can we use this in the classroom? And then we'll use that to actually support learning in the classroom. And what are some of the Web 2.0 tools that you are using that you've found effective? Okay, one of the things we use is Flickr for lots of photo sharing. One program called Wall Wisher, which is whereby people can actually post comments on to a shared wall. Etherpad is another nice one, which still develops collaborative learning. People are actually leaving comments in real time. So children in the classroom can actually work on the same piece of work at the same time. And when they save it, everyone else can see what the changes are. So that's really good for developing some collaboration skills with pupils. Other technologies we will use are, we use things like Storybird, which is a web-based literacy program to help children actually read their writing. And we've got a wide range of different math resources we'll use as well. Now here in Qatar, you've had a chance to meet with a lot of teachers. How are you finding their willingness to explore these tools? I think the one thing I'm really impressed with is the enthusiasm I've seen from every seller post that's been in one of my sessions. They want to learn, they hear, they give up their own time. And I think it's a real pleasure to see the dedication and how hard they're actually trying. And before you leave, Qatar, what is some advice that you would leave for teachers here in terms of technology and web too? I think the biggest advice is don't be scared of it. Enhance it, embrace it. If you're not quite sure how to use it, the small children in your classroom will soon figure out how. Absolutely.
