Bromley’s Third SLICT Program completed
Today we have completed our final round of the SLICT program. The participating schools included Crofton Infants, Mottingham Primary School, Burnt Ash Primary , St Antony’s RC School, Rectory Paddock School, Biggin Hill Infant School,St Mary Cray School, St Philomena’s RC School,Parish School and Perry Hall School.
The program covered issues focussing on Leadership and Management of ICT throughout the school. Members of the team were also urged by presenters Neil Hopkins and Richard Rule to explore strategies for implementing innovations back at their schools.
Neil presented some interesting ways of using Social Networking Technologies (Web 2 Technologies) within the school curriculum program. These technologies are highly effective and won’t break the school’s tight budget. For the benefit of those who attended the session, (and the rest of you schools out there in Bromley), the links are listed below. (Click the Continue Reading Link folks!!)

The ‘booker’ passes this on to the people they wish to participate, who simply click on the link to enter into the meeting at the arranged time
