A new digital grid for learning

A new digital grid for learning

Jonathan Werran CEO of the Localis think tank (http://www.localis.org.uk) believes cancelling GCSE and A level exams this year was regrettable.

Jonathans now believes that local authorities have an opportunity to crisis management through the crisis and prepare for future disruptions of schools and colleges.  The resilience for the local authority to have alternatives for classes and exams through digitalisation contingency will have the added benefit of being useful in the day to day running of the school.

The corvid crisis Jonathan believes, if viewed correctly ,is a catalyst for future proofing, cost reduction and resilience . 

A new digital grid for learning for all children using digital hardware. A case needs to be made for an excellent digital opportunity to all children while making access to school approved laptops  a priority.

This will bring resilience and supplementary tools while the schools are happily running. While there is no problem if a crisis comes along and pupils can happily work from home.  Procurement of digital assets can be low costs with bulk order while parents would be happy to avoid the full cost themselves of equipment that can be used in the home.
