Building a Digital Future
The city of London has started an innovative new
educational project. It has set up a series of digital
schoolhouses within existing secondary schools
across London. The intention behind the project is
to train a new generation of IT teachers and to
improve digital skills in children that attend these
schools. The digital schoolhouses involve a series
of workshops for both primary and lower secondary
school students. The workshops are on various
topics related to technology, including
communication and the internet, hardware,
software, coding, how computers work and e-safety.
Students can learn how to create apps for their
smartphones and tablets. The digital schoolhouses
also work with businesses and higher education
institutions to help students put their knowledge into
practice in the real world. This creates important
links between students and businesses and
institutions. After completing their studies, students
will be in a better position to apply for jobs at these
places. The learning environment is inclusive of all
abilities and it is both engaging and enjoyable. In
addition, everything taught during the workshops is
related to what the students are learning at school,
so the knowledge gained is useful for their other
studies. The courses not only teach students about
technology but also to think about how they use it.
They learn critical thinking skills which are essential
to move into further education. Teachers, business
leaders and politicians believe that the future of
education and business lies in IT and computing.
Computers are already an essential part of our daily
lives. These digital schoolhouses will help young
people compete in the jobs market of the future,
where computer skills will be as necessary as
English and Maths.
