Welcome

The Rethinking ICT day aims to bring together teachers from all age ranges and industry professionals who all have an interest in how ICT develops as a subject. The plan is to get as many people together to share their vision so that we can develop a workable plan for the future.

I also hope to begin to co-ordinate an informal network of ICT specialists who would be willing to offer time and support to those schools that need it. How this is organised and managed is one of the things that we will need to discuss on the day.

My school, Winchester House School, have kindly offered to host the day and the date for the event has now been confirmed as Monday the 25th June.

I will use this blog to post regular updates about the day and hopefully many of you will come along and join me for what promises to be an inspiring day.

Thank you

Chris Leach
