Urban Teacher Features in Tech Mix Mag : Pg 18 - 19
A quick message from Lindsey (TechWizz 2013, Organiser)
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging for Urban Teacher to come and deliver Appshed workshops. They were hugely popular on the day and we received some excellent visit with 82% of people who attended the workshop saying it was their favourite of the day. I have also had many students asking me about whether we are going to create them in our ICT lessons which of course my reply has been, most definitely. I have also had lots of tweets asking if we can set a date for TechWizz 14 and as we had 309 people attend our first ever event (and of those 98% said they would attend TechWizZ 2014 we will have to run it again next year."

Urban Teacher @ The Bett Show 2013
Bridging the Gap Between: Teachers, Students, Parents and Programmers – Presented by Urban Teacher @ The Bett Show!
Background: Urban Teacher does much more than working as an ICT teacher in a London secondary school. He sees his role as that of a true technology evangelist working in the education system and is passionate about getting the most innovative technologies into the hands of learners.
In these roles, he has noticed widening gaps between the needs and capabilities of all the stakeholders he encounters – teachers, students and their parents and the programmers and app developers supplying schools with software and content. Keen for these gaps not to widen further, Mark will share what he has learned about connecting all these stakeholders and reducing the distance between schools and the wider world of technology.

Session Title: What is an Appropriate ICT curriculum?
Date: Thursday 22nd November 2012
Summary of the Session:
Children today are proclaimed to be the first truly digital generation; a generation that appears to have everything at its fingertips. The wealth of games, pictures, videos, music and books that they can get their hands on with very little effort is something that previous generations could only dream of. So the main question at the moment is what an appropriate ICT curriculum?Tonight’s discussion is deciphering what is appropriate curriculum for ICT and how it should perceived and understood in educational world. Tonight discussion seems to focus on three elements which is
keeping the ICT curriculum challenging, fun and engaging.These elements could be broken down into programming, digital literacies, computer science, apps and computer technology. But it seems these things are the current technologies that people are using in the outside too. The great discourse on the ICT curriculm is debatable but it seems keeping ICT challenging, fun and engaging is the way forward.
Notable Tweets
@IamStephReed – an appropriate ICT curriculum must incorporate up to date technology #ukedchat
@tmeeky – I don’t think it’s about tools and software (these will perm chng)… I think it’s more about concepts and purposes (more stable) #ukedchat
@ICT in its current form can be taught throughout the curriculum but we might need to introduce more programming type things in ICT?#ukedchat
@JulieTavender – #Ukedchat what should year three chn be learning?I teach email, blogging, story boarding, social media, use of publisher
