Learning in a virtual environment and spending £15 million

Today we were looking at how we should teach in the future.  To do this the students trialed a new feature of learning at Neale-Wade the Virtual Learning Environment.  In this they accessed and then followed directions on the computer and accessed a variety of resources to help them formulate their ideas about the future of teaching at Neale-Wade.

In the afternoon we were fortunate to have Annie Moy and her team of experts from Sharpe Pritchard , the solicitors who are dealing with the Building Schools for the Future contract, and they led the students in a role play  about winning contracts.  The students took on the role either of bidders or the county council.  The bidders had to put together a proposal for a Building Schools for the Future project and the council had to decide how they would evaluate the proposals and then decide between them.
