of trying to reach technically adept teachers - those who understand<br>
the classroom and are able to solve minor technical problems which<br>
would block a non-tech-savvy teacher.<br>
<br>
I think I may have found a contact list on the UK ICT Register site.<br>
<br>
Listed schools are noted for using ICT ("Information and Communication<br>
Technologies", a bit of a govspeak term) in education.<br>
<br>
As an example on their site here: <a href="http://www.ict-register.net" target="_blank">http://www.ict-register.net</a><br>
<br>
There is a section "Other aspects of using ICT for teaching/learning"<br>
<a href="http://www.ict-register.net/browse.php?action=list&cat=2&subcat=12&osx1=&osy1=&postcode=" target="_blank">http://www.ict-register.net/browse.php?action=list&cat=2&subcat=12&osx1=&osy1=&postcode=</a><br>
<br>
And clicking on it I find this:<br>
<a href="http://www.ict-register.net/browse.php?action=one&id=1641&sch_id=307" target="_blank">http://www.ict-register.net/browse.php?action=one&id=1641&sch_id=307</a><br>
"...a member of the ICT department was a primary school teacher for 13<br>
years and can use this experience to work with primary school ICT<br>
Coordinators to establish what ICT support is needed. This ICT teacher<br>
can offer Inset for teaching and support staff, plan and teach lessons<br>
for primary staff to observe and involve local primary pupils in a<br>
Multimedia Club which takes place after school."<br>
<br>
Perhaps contacting some educators like this and asking them to do a<br>
focus group with SoaS could generate useful feedback (and help us<br>
build positive stories)?<br>
<br>
Or at the very least bring the IAEP list to their atttention and help<br>
us recruit contributors?<br>
