BSF conversations

What about the WOW factor?

0s · Published 07 Apr 16:04

When we started out bidding on BSF projects (about 3 years ago), one of the most used phrases in connection with ICT, was “Wow Factor”. The first time it would appear would be during the bidders open day. Really good authorities managed to get it in at least twice in their presentations. The top man […]

Stating the obvious in BSF

0s · Published 09 Mar 17:55

Have just been penning some thoughts on what a local authority and those about to embark on a BSF procurement should think about. This might seem like motherhood and apple pie, but surprisingly often forgotten in my humble experience! Be clear what you want Its OK to change your mind, but do communicate this with […]

Slight change to format this time with just one subject under discussion. This is the first of several duscussions that will look at the impact of ICT on the transformation of learning. This time we look at the role of data, and particuarly “so called” business intelligence. BSF schools are packed with technolgies that generate […]

Separate ICT BSF Procurement

0s · Published 19 Feb 18:30

It is speculated that Partnership for Schools wish to change the procurement model and potentially separate the procurement of ICT from that of the LEP and construction under certain conditions from Wave 7 onwards. This is supposedly to accelerate progress and spending, thus allowing educational transformation to be started early from an ICT perspective.

1:1 Device Ownership

0s · Published 18 Feb 17:42

This is a topic I can clearly see both side of the argument. Most authorities through BSF are leaning towards the specification of a 1:1 device ratio and many towards personal devices. At the moment I don't know which one is best and would welcome comments / discussion.

Our main subject of conversation is the topical issue of a personal learning device. 48 minutes turned out not long enough to do this subject justice […]
