Rethinking How Schools Work Teachers are agreed that the use of ‘voice notes’ (audio recording of their narrated feedback) is far quicker than either hand- or type-written marking. Almost uniformly, they are using this reclaimed time to give more detailed feedback;

http://www.josepicardo.com/digital-strategy-2/technology-at-surbiton-high-school

Teachers also consider the quality of feedback much more effective for learning …students are more likely to access feedback in this form, …reduces the ‘distancing effect’ of written feedback and encourages dialogue, …forces engagement with the substance rather than the surface of ‘grades’ …make themselves understood more clearly, that ‘dense’ feedback is more accessible, …that it scaffolds self-assessment and target setting;

Students’ views echo the effects perceived by teachers at Surbiton: …more nuanced and less ‘black and white’ than written comments, seeing it as a continuation of teaching rather than a separate process; Social distance is reduced through feedback delivered by a trusted voice, using language/ inflection with which the students are already comfortable and familiar;


 ‌it needs to be listened to in its entirety, was reported as a drawback by some students.

Staff, conversely, see this as a strength, forcing students to listen (sometimes repeatedly) and to transcribe targets into their own words.

The most notable feature of the school’s use of technology is, counterintuitively, that it is not noted.

Surbiton has successfully embedded technology-enhanced practices into the ‘business as usual’ of learning so that students and increasing numbers of staff do not see it as a discrete activity.

Producing media and prototypes “indeed, the growing accessibility of mobile technologies is giving rise to an increasing level of comfort with producing media and prototypes.

This may be due in part to the popularity of social media apps such as Instagram and SnapChat through which people share informal stories with photographs and short-form videos.”

Coding as a Literacy Students as Creators

Coding as a Literacy As the number of computer science jobs are expected to proliferate in the next five years, there is a need for students to learn coding and programming skills, which have proven to bolster problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

‘A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.’
