This book takes into account three core policies: 'Every Child Matters', 'Personalised Learning', and 'Harnessing Technology', combined they are at the heart of changes to children and young peoples' experiences of school. Harnessing Technology considers these policies and their interlinked relationship. It outlines the ways in which technology allows us to assess, track and monitor pupil progress and use this information to better support both their learning and their broader needs, making it an essential resource for training and practicing teachers, school leaders, and all those involved in educational transformation. To achieve the five outcomes of the 'Every Child Matters' agenda requires an approach that is pupil centred, with developments in new technologies making it possible to not only understand each individual more precisely, but also for them to learn in more flexible and personalised ways. Through innovations such as web based information sharing, learning platforms and e-portfolios, schools will be able to offer content appropriate to pupil's personal goals, breaching conventional orthodoxies of time and place. How far these policies will transform schools and services for children and young people remains to be seen. Consideration is given within the book to the barriers to their success, the issues that impinge upon them, and questions asked about their capacity to bring about long-term, systemic, change.

As technology evolves, we are becoming ever more reliant on the
use of handheld and mobile devices, yet what we know about their
impact on learning is, as yet, limited. Whilst there has been a lot
of interest in this type of technology, many schools aren t
exploiting it to their educational advantage. Learning with Mobile and Handheld Technologies" offers tried and tested examples of how technologies have been used in learning across schools, how the problems that inevitably arise have been solved, and offers ideas for the future. This invaluable book will provide teachers and educators with practical examples of the uses of mobiles and technology enhanced learning in educational contexts, and includes sections on:
" Learning with Mobile and Handheld Technologies" introduces the changes that are taking place within schools as a direct result of emerging technologies, and contains case studies with examples of best practice in a variety of settings including Primary, Secondary, and home and distance learning. The book also discusses themes of pedagogy, communication and affordances, collaborative learning, individual creativity and expression, self-directed and informal learning and outdoor education. The learning potential of learning with handheld and mobile devices has excited teachers and educators, but until now there has been no structured, systematic overview available that gathers examples of best practice in, and out, of schools. This hugely practical book gathers many of the examples that are available, and brings them together to provide a clearer picture of what is currently a fragmented area. "
As technology evolves we are ever more reliant on the use of handheld and mobile devices, yet what do we know about their impact on learning? While there is a lot of interest in mobile technology, many schools still aren't sure how to best use it for learning and teaching. Learning with Handhelds and Mobiles explores this landscape and offers examples of how these technologies have been used for learning, how the problems that have arisen are being addressed, and offers ideas for the future. This invaluable book gives a voice to teachers and educators using mobiles and technology-enhanced learning in and out of schools, for regular school work and for innovative projects through exciting partnerships like Apps for Good. Learning with Handhelds and Mobiles shows the changes that are taking place within schools as a direct result of these emerging technologies, and contains case studies with accounts of best practice in a variety of settings including primary, secondary, and special schools, and learning beyond their boundaries. The book also explores themes of pedagogy, communication and affordances, collaborative learning, individual creativity and expression, self-directed and informal learning and outdoor education. The learning potential of handheld and mobile devices has excited teachers and educators, but until now there has been no structured, systematic overview available along with reflections on how this technology is changing educational practice. This book brings these together to provide a clearer picture of what is currently a fragmented area, and offers expert views of how we can understand these, and where it may take us next.
In "Ministry Loves Company," John Galloway provides new and veteran pastors with insights on establishing and maintaining a vital parish ministry while remaining invigorated by the practice of ministry. Drawing on the image of a congregation as a family, Galloway uses anecdotes to describe the life of a congregation and the life of a pastor, who have both been called to be the body of Christ. Poignant, memorable, and often humorous, Galloway's reflections derive from his own personal experiences as a pastor. "Ministry Loves Company" uniquely addresses the many challenges facing today's pastors and serves as a practical guide for those entering the minstry as well as those veteran pastors who are seeking to remain courageous and excited about parish ministry.
