[senit] ICT subject teachers in SLD

one of the interesting ideas that you have posted is
taeching needs-based groups/ ability groups eg a group
of early switch users, a group of clicker users, a
group all ready for video editing.
I gather that some ICT teachers select the groups
rather than having groups given to them. the number in
such groups seems important.I guess the students come
from a number of classes to the lessons.I assume
support staff bring students to the ICT room. However
they may not be able to stay with the student as they
may not be 1:1 for the student in their own class.
What about support staff for the lesson/session? Where
do they come from? are they assigned to the lesson on
a regular basis by the timetable person eg Deputy?
Then again the difficulty in teaching ICT to classes
is that some LSAs do not have enough ICT skills,
despite training being available. For the ability
groups above for instance the LSAs should be able to
use edit mode in clicker, and be able to do simple
video editing. So I'm wondering whether the LSAs
assigned to these lessons are specially selected on
the basis of their better than average ICT skills? (of
course you may be in the lucky position of having all
LSAs being able to do these things, and of course 
some teachers can't do them).
Any answers to the above points about running ability
or needs-based ICT sessions gratefully received , or
any more points on this area.
