Summary:

New Line Learning Academy in Kent prides itself on the extensive use of ICT in supporting its learning programme. The school has adopted an integrated approach to the use of ICT, handing every new pupil a portable tablet computer, providing wireless internet access and designing a virtual learning environment called schoolbuk. With a school rebuild approaching, the Academy has also been developing a classroom of the future . The school hall has been converted into a high tech Learning Plaza . Here students have open-plan areas where they can work in small groups. The plaza features steeply tiered banana seating used for whole-class presentations. We visit the school to find out how the use of teaching materials, setting of tasks, assessment and feedback have all had to change to accommodate a truly leading-edge vision of ICT in learning.
