I had a good day at the SENJIT conference yesterday. There were some interesting speakers – including the inspiring Wiltshire special school head and Mac-nut Sean O’Sullivan, and the enthusiastic Jocelyn Chappel (ICT teacher and open-source enthusiast).
There was much discussion over the BSF programme and the share that SEN gets of the £4.5bn IT spending. There seemed to be a concensus that the raft of learning platfoms avaliable for schools are overly text based and are not yet suited to SEN schools.
On a personal level I find it hard to get excited about learning platforms whilst there is so many free Web 2.0 resources to be harnessed on the internet. How can a learning platform compete with the innovation of the internet? I worry that it would be constraining.
