ICT in the PNS
Key Priorities
PNS ICT annual plan as agreed with DFES – 5 main areas
•ICT Progressions pilot – now extended – materials next year
•Learning and Teaching using ICT Network – to support LA’s –
embedding ICT (+pupils use), ICT in renewed frameworks, effective
use of PNS materials
•E-transition Pilot - consider how learning platforms might aid
transition Y6-Y7
•Embedding ICT: Subject Leader CD - support and guidance for
ICT, literacy and mathematics subject leaders; full searchable bank
of PNS ICT resources, CPD material, progression material
•Blended Learning events for representative LTs and ASTs project using range from web forums, face-to-face training, action
research, individual study, collaboration and communication.

Good Practice
Primary Vision
• What are you doing with your equipment?
• What effect has this had on attainment?
• How do you know?
Impact for learning – ICT
• How are you measuring the impact of the
technology within your school?
• Have you seen a difference?
• What makes the difference?
ICT – Moving Forward in Schools
• What are the schools strengths?
• What are the barriers?
• What would support you to move forward
with ICT in your school?
• What (blue sky) would you like to do within
your school?
Hardware Audit
• Hardware audit
• A hardware audit should include a review of the following areas:
• Quantity: do you have sufficient computers to meet the needs of
users and the stated government target ratio of computers to pupils
in schools?
• Quality: are your computers equipped to deal with the demands
made of them now and in the near future? Here you should take into
account the usability of the computers in relation to the staff and
pupils they serve, as well as their age, potential for upgrade and
what the cost of upgrading would be.
• Adaptability: are you able to deploy the current computer stock in a
way that ensures their most effective use?
• Peripherals: are there sufficient printers, digital cameras and
scanners to meet the needs stated above?

How to manage recycled or
legacy equipment
Schools are often offered second-hand computers when companies decide to replace their ICT
equipment. Although this can often be beneficial, a school should also take care that it does not inherit
inappropriate
equipment.
Staff in schools handling donated equipment need to think about four key aspects:
•
machine specification
•
health and safety
•
legal issues
•
serviceability.
•
The National Association of Advisers for Computers in Education (NAACE) offers guidance in a report
titled Refurbished personal computers for schools. NAACE recommends that schools should not
normally acquire used equipment unless it has undergone professional refurbishment.
•
The machine specification should be of an appropriate standard to enable it to be added to the school’s
network.
•
Second-hand computers are usually donated on an 'as-seen' basis without a warranty or any other
cover. A school should therefore ensure that the equipment is safe, and that it has been checked and
tested by a properly qualified person.
•
A school must comply with licensing agreements, adopting the original licence and making sure that it
is complying with the licence's conditions. If a school receives a machine with software still installed, it
must confirm its entitlement to use it.
•
Because of the costs involved in rendering a used system serviceable, consideration must also be
given to the likely lifespan of equipment and the technical costs of bringing it into service.
•
Schools should consider what, if any, warranty comes with the equipment.

Total cost of ownership
• Budgeted costs are items that are typically budgeted to
the IT cost centre, such as:
– Hardware and software (capital expenditure and leasing fees for
new installations, upgrades and updates)
– Management (network, system, and storage, administration,
labour and outsourcing fees; reactive and proactive
management tasks)
– Support (help desk, training, purchasing, travel, maintenance
and support contracts, overhead labour)
– Development (application and content development, testing and
documentation, including new developments, customisations,
and maintenance)
– Communication fees (leased-line and server-access charges).
