For those of you who didn’t catch the last couple months of Edudemic Magazine, Adam Webster from the UK will join us each month to offer his perspective on what’s happening in the education arena in the UK. To learn more about Adam, check out his blog at cagelessthinking.com In the last few weeks I was lucky enough to visit one of the great success stories from the ‘academy’ school system that has been developed under the current Education Secretary. Essa Academy in Bolton nearly doubled its pass rate at GCSE within just two years and has grabbed global headlines for its innovative use of technology around the school. Essa Academy. La escuela donde cada maestro tiene un iPad ... y cada estudiante tiene un iPod - Noticias de Educación - Educación. Ask anyone in the education world which is the most technologically advanced state school in the country, and their answer is the same: Bolton's Essa Academy, which has undergone a technological revolution envied by schools across Britain.
On the face of it, many might consider the Lancashire town an unlikely spot to herald one of the biggest revolutions in learning the state education system has seen in decades. Essa is a 900-pupil 11 to 16 school, taking most of its pupils from disadvantaged communities in the town. Its predecessor was deemed to be a failure by Ofsted, but it is now flourishing, after a remarkable shake-up in the way pupils are learning.
Every pupil has their own iPod Touch, which they keep with them day and night. The gadget helps them to do their homework and gives them the opportunity to email their teachers with questions whenever they like.
