Edtech for primary school learning

Inspiring pupils to dive headfirst into learning with edtech

As a primary school, you might be exploring how you can best provide your pupils with an enriching learning experience.

We work with you to explore how edtech could better support your educators, allowing teachers to connect with and engage young learners in powerful new ways.

With the right support, your school’s edtech strategy and approach to technology in the classroom could facilitate more creativity, engagement, learning, and play.

How edtech supports primary school learning

From consumers to creators

Edtech has the potential to transform how pupils learn. Instead of passively consuming learning material, pupils can use edtech to engage fully in a subject through a creative activity.

Young learners may use the internet to research a history topic, recording facts in their workbooks. With the right edtech, pupils could go on to create a history podcast for the school website or produce an informative video using green screen technology.

With edtech, pupils become creators rather than consumers and enjoy a more valuable learning experience.

Preparing the next generation

There’s no doubt that technology will continue to define and shape our lives, and primary schools are often tasked with preparing the next generation for jobs and roles that don’t even exist yet.

A strong edtech strategy and knowing how to implement it in classrooms gives pupils the chance to interact with the latest technology at a young age. This ensures young learners have the best possible start.

What edtech challenges do primary schools face?

Discover how we can support you in making the most of your edtech and overcoming barriers to better learning.

Implementing your edtech strategy

What’s the challenge?

Your Computing Lead is required to not only teach the IT curriculum but become an overnight in-house edtech expert. They may not have the time, training, knowledge or resources to make the most of the edtech in your classrooms.

How do we help?

We can provide your Computing Lead with the insight, support, and specialist leadership training they need to become a confident, effective edtech specialist.

We offer a professional learning and training programme designed to upskill and support Computing Leads. The course covers everything you’d need to know about optimising your school’s edtech, from outlining a strong edtech strategy to mentoring colleagues on usage in classrooms

Adapting to new technology in the classroom

What’s the challenge?

If you’ve recently invested in new equipment or software, even the most tech-savvy educator might struggle to know exactly how to make the most of it.

From switching to a cloud-based system to getting the full benefit of a new media suite, without the right support new edtech can feel more like a hurdle than a helping hand.

How do we help?

Part of what we do is support schools in a consultancy capacity through our Edtech Catalyst package. We help you understand what your edtech is capable of and support you in developing a strategy so your school can make better use of it.

Strategies might include gaining access to training, adjustments to how the edtech is currently being used or outlining plans to invest in new tech further down the line.

Bringing teachers on board with new edtech

What’s the challenge?

Teachers typically have a great deal to do and very little time to do it in. Some teachers may, understandably, struggle to make full use of or adapt to newly installed edtech. Some may even be actively disengaged from using edtech, perhaps associating it with the trauma of teaching virtually through the lockdown.

How do we help?

As educators ourselves, we offer you support that combines technical expertise with a strong understanding of how edtech ought to help and uplift teachers.

Through both of our service packages, we empower you with what you need to support your staff and allow them to really benefit from edtech. Depending on your school’s priorities, your strategy might include:

  • Adjusting how your edtech is used in each classroom
  • Upskilling colleagues through professional learning for teachers
  • Collaborating with your technicians so you’re transitioning smoothly to new systems.

Through dedicated edtech consultancy and leadership training, we help you facilitate exceptional learning by supporting your staff.
