Helping you build a Digital Strategy for schools in the UK
Education is becoming more and more reliant on technology and it’s important that schools aren’t left behind while others move forward. Streamlining admin, increasing security, and preparing students for the technological world. Enhanced schools provide an enhanced education.
Building a digital strategy that works for your school is an important in making this happen. This guide will be your one-stop shop for building the perfect digital strategy for your school with a focus on planning, choosing, buying and using.
Planning
The first step to take is assessing the current situation in your school. The state of your hardware, software, internet connection and staff’s digital literacy are all key factors in this decision making.
Elementary Technology is more than happy to help with this. Our Classroom Healthcheck is a unique service offered to schools and trusts. We'll audit your school’s technology and your readiness to upgrade. Offering guidance on what areas need some more TLC.
Choosing
Now that you know what areas need attention, you need to decide on a goal. Is the aim to improve accessibility? Or to improve engagement in the classroom . Something to also consider is whether your school is in line with national and Ofsted guidelines. This choice allows us to suggest the perfect EdTech for you.
It’s important to consider who will be using this tech and how it will affect them. Bringing them into the discussion will give a better understanding of what the school needs to drive improvement. IT, admin, teachers, students and safeguarding all need a voice around EdTech. It can be hard to consider every angle when making a choice by yourself.
Buying
The killer of every digital strategy is the budget. Every school has a set amount for developing their technology and is told to stretch it however they can. We understand this and so there are ways around a tight budget.
Flexible payment solutions and leasing options are a great way to fulfil your needs without breaking the bank. You’ll need to consider the upfront cost of the technology along with its maintenance, software fees and staff training.
Using
The final part of your digital strategy that pulls all of this together is your school uses it. Training staff on the technology they’ll be using means that your school is prepared to deliver lessons using every feature at your disposal.
Elementary Technology’s expertise lies in helping you through every step of this process. While there are other places to buy a piece of technology, you'd only be flogged the screen with the biggest margin. We are dedicated to training your staff on how to use the technology you've bought to its full value.
It’s Elementary Technology that will take the time to understand your school and help you through the entire process of Planning, Choosing, Buying and Using. We take the time to know your needs and help you through our Classroom Healthcheck, flexible payment options suited to your budget, and professional Training & CPD delivered by ex-educators.
