[senco-forum] ict training for TAs

Advisory teacher who brought in a laptop for my PD child who is 6. He needs to be taught keyboard skills by his TA and yes we are a primary school. Yes I did have a TA with excellent ict skills- they were so good she became pa to the head and just does not have time

    My TAs are petrified of using ICT - most of them. We have given them Inset in using clicker, widgits communication with print, and use of interactive whiteboards, word shark, numbershark etc but really they are scared to put the machine on.....................I have been told to give them inset but I think they need 1:1 tuition on along term basis to raise their confidence and individual progress. any advise?
