ICT Excellence Awards

April 2, 2008 at 10:44 am · Filed under General News Bulletin

ICT Excellence Awards 2008 launched

Becta has launched the ICT Excellence Awards 2008 to seek out the best and brightest schools that are using technology to help learners achieve. As young people become more and more digitally minded, schools have to raise their game to keep children engaged in the classroom. The ICT Excellence Awards aims to identify and reward schools throughout the UK approaching ICT in outstanding or innovative ways, benefiting their whole community both inside and outside the school building. By recognising whole-school best practice, these awards are closely aligned with Becta’s self-review framework and the ICT Mark. While rewarding the school as a whole, there will be a focus within the awards on those individuals leading change within the school and making an impact across it. This year there will be eight national awards, across five categories, with winners receiving a cash prize to spend on ICT equipment, provision or training.The deadline for entries is 30 April 2008. Schools and organisations that are shortlisted for an ICT Excellence Award 2008 will be visited by judges during June, July and September 2008. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in November 2008. Details on the categories and how to apply can be found here: Link
