Our vision
“New technologies can offer new approaches to engage learners. Digital content, wireless access in classrooms, cloud computing and mobile handheld touch screen devices can revolutionise the way in which we communicate and share information with each other in the 21st Century.
“It’s not unreasonable for learners, parents and teachers to expect that the technology they use in their daily life can also be used in education. Across schools in Wales you will see an array of technology being used innovatively for learning and teaching.
“It is important that all learners and teachers have access to appropriate technology and can use it with confidence. We know there’s good practice out there, but as with many things in education, it’s important that schools learn and share the best ideas.
“I want Wales to a take a lead on digital inclusion and digital learning and this report shows us how we can achieve that goal.”
Mr Leighton Andrews, Rhondda AM, Minister for Children, Education & Lifelong Learning, March 2012
The CwmBryn PLC aims to put the Minister’s words into practice. Through creating a collaborative approach involving the children, staff and families of two schools from the Rhondda Cynon Taff and Carmarthenshire Local Authorities, CwmBryn aims to “revolutionise”, “communicate” and “share” in ways that maximise both the available technologies and the skills of our stakeholders. Our Action Plan sets out how CwmBryn aims to “take a lead on digital inclusion and digital learning.”
