What is Innovation?
Innovations are divided into two broad categories:
Evolutionary innovations (continuous or dynamic
evolutionary innovation) that are brought about by

Technology is transforming schools and the home how do we bring
the two together?
At school….
• Shared services across schools
• Better use of buildings

filtering control
• Staff and pupil identity
management
• Schools pay for what they use
• Village and town hub
• Virtual Classrooms leading to
international learning
• Bring schools capacity to
account
In the home...
• New devices
• New communication paths
• BYOD
• Secure encrypted VPN to the home
• IL3 to the home
• Home worker in a box
• Fastest UK Broadband
• 4G roll out
• TV services

“The expectation as to what can be achieved with technology is changing,
the next generation of teachers, social workers, doctors, nurses all public
sector workers will have grown up in a technical age and will have higher
expectations on what technology allows them to do.”
New Ideas
Schoogle
Homework Focus
Mobile Prevention
Set modem to only allow access to
teacher approved websites during
homework time.
Issue a school SIM card or mobile
device that are deactivated or channelled
during school hours
Webits
When a pupil goes to a teacher
recommended website, they receive a
point. Points will be published real-time.
Pupils will be motivated to keep to
relevant websites. Teacher could
publicise some websites, others could be
hidden. More points
awarded for finding the hidden sites.
Schools IPTV
School TV Channel showing curriculum
subjects, extra lessons and study guides
during exam periods
A new search engine that restricts
results to teacher approved websites,
during
homework time access to other search
engines could be blocked.
Learning Everywhere
A Platform to deliver education anywhere
Home Schooling for children on long term
sickness leave, learning difficulties and
exclusions
Gamification of learning
What do kids love?
1) Collecting things
2) A new app
Linking educational collectable cards that could be related to their form topic. We could create some collectable swappable cards with
Teacher input that the kids could take home as homework to learn with their parents. (Spelling or phonics cards are another option) This
could be linked to an educational app that parents need to help their kids with. Keep it fun with different levels of competition for the kids.
New Trial

You are the experts, come and see us to talk about the art of the possible!
Our objective of the day is to create a
learning mind map for the home.
