Try this out - it is part of a larger site that I'm putting the finishing touches to.

I'm asked to deliver a session about 'effective ICT' quite regularly but I've never really been able to deliver it in exactly the way I want to. Now I've finished this exercise - which can hopefully be used for all curriculum areas - you can explore what 'effective ICT' really is.

The definitions can be found here: http://www.effective...o.uk/effective/
... and the interactive exercise can be found here: http://www.effective...effective.shtml

Do please try it out - I'm hoping it is quite a useful talking point, if nothing else....

I didn't read the definitions first .... just did the quiz. On a couple of occasions my scores differed quite significantly from yours, but as you say this is a subjective exercise.

I thought that it could well make an individual reflect on the effective use of ICT, but that it would be a great deal more useful if done by a group of teachers together as a basis for discussion.

Which is exactly what is has been created for

Which scores did you differ on?

Errrr .... Just emphasising that it would be more useful when done in a group.

The questions where I differed significantly were the ones where no purpose was stated in the scenario. I assumed there would be a real learning purpose/objective and rated accordingly.

it raised some interesting issues - would certainly promote discussion
