Carol Rainbow, advisory teacher and ICT consultant. As a member of the Oxfordshire ICT curriculum team she is supporting 70 Oxfordshire schools in implementing their new Learning Platform as a tool to improve strategic management, facilitate easy sharing of resources between teachers and teachers and children and create exciting curricular opportunities for pupils and giving all of the school community access to their resources 24/7 to facilitate always anywhere learning. The learning platform has forums, blogs, wikis, the ability to embed Flash, games and video so lots of scope for exciting web 2.0 projects to enhance teaching and learning. Carol's role is to support teachers by enabling the successful use of these resources in class. Her biggest interest for the moment is investigating how mLearning may help to enhance learning across the county.
