Seminar brief:Many schools do not feel they get value from their IT support provision. Nigel believes there are some Educational IT Support services who focus on up-selling products rather than delivering a proactive IT support and development programme that school staff and pupils deserve to receive.
In this seminar Nigel Milligan will explore:
The wide range of IT issues that schools are having.
How to change the mindset in school to embrace the use of technology.
How pro-active support is more effective than re-active support.
How to encourage schools to believe in their own vision and not that of the IT support provider.
The session will be an informal discussion-based workshop which will give SBMs the opportunity to share their own challenges and areas for development.
Take home points:
Take away a list of processes and routines that can be changed.
Develop strategies to help staff get more from the IT Support Provision in their school.
If required, list serious issues that bring into doubt the current IT Support provision in school and how to challenge them.
This session is for: All school staff, from site manager to senior leaders.
