Once upon a time, schoolchildren who spent hours on the computer were labelled as “nerds” or “games freaks” – but pupils at the Howard of Effingham School have shown the shift in attitudes by embracing new ways of learning. All 1,500 students are now part of the Frog community, an intranet system that can be accessed from inside and outside school, and which staff said was bringing real benefits to learning. Parents and governors are soon to join the students and staff in the online environment, one where homework is set, submitted and sent back, and pupil responses are delivered without the need for forms, slips or nagging from teachers.
