Contribution
The Impact 09 project (Crook and Harrison, 2010) was one of the final projects funded by Becta. The project's remit was to carry out 'explanatory case studies' (Yin, 2009) of how children in high-achieving, high-ICT schools were using and learning from ICT. In order to do this, the team carried out a 'deep audit' of nine secondary schools, and also collected data on teachers' goals, activities and resources using both interviews and a web-based lesson-log template. Data from 85 lessons were analysed and the student learning associated with the teaching was evaluated using a specially-developed taxonomy of 19 learning practices. The project reported a high degree of variation in ICT practice in the nine schools, which in some cases demonstrated a discrepancy between head teacher's stated philosophy and ICT practice encountered in the school. In the most successful schools, however, three factors were present and in congruence: a clearly articulated and fully embedded management vision; a coherent and well-integrated suite of ICT affordances; a model of student self-directed learning that made use of a wide range of ICT resources in and out of school, and which provided goals, tools, support, and feedback.
