Summary of the module identifying the
implications for my future role as an English subject leader.
This module has providing me with an insight into how media
and technology can have educational purposes in the classroom, and has also
broadened my knowledge of the resources available. It has strengthened my confidence to provide
innovative ideas and cross curricular links as a future English subject leader
to inspire and support other teachers to apply it to the curriculum (QCA/UKLA,
2004); this was strengthened through the opportunity of applying our knowledge in
the school context at Shirley Warren. The ICT Leader there enlightened us with
cost effective ways of applying media and technology in future schools which
are less fortunate to have the advanced technologies Shirley Warren have. One
main thing I have learnt is that we as teachers can use upcoming resources to
learn alongside the children in an engaging way which also gives them ownership
of their work, and engages children through the new digital world they are growing
up in (Palfrey & Gasser, 2008).
