1. Shouldn't this be: People using IT is a cause of change
2. Turn schools into research hubs - ruthless automation of admin, focus on time budget, beyond school boundaries
2.1. Why not go a step further and make schools a system that directs children onto self-autonomous tasks that they do themselves or part of a team? Include local business to not only give students a look into the working world but also to allow them to learn outside the classroom and bring back a little more kinetic nature to the educational system thats had its foot chained to a desk for too long.

3.5. Is there a mismatch between drivers such as transformation and technology terms?
3.5.1. From iT to It - the more pervasive the technology, the more it is background - only noticed when it fails. Maybe focus on "Information"

3.12.5. Transmitting best from generation to generation v preparing for the future. What is vision of ofsted framework?
3.12.5.1. Fill the mind or light the fire?
4. Which stakeholders could IT make biggest impact on from position of school effectiveness?
5. What should school leadership team look like by 2020?
5.1. The term 'leadership team' is really a euphemism for 'management'. That needs clarification. Leadership is not, and should not be, a special position in a hierarchy of authority. Management, as we understand the term at the moment, is an impediment to change. Management should be subordinated to leadership. The Leadership Team should be a biennially elected group drawn from the community as a whole. Anyone can stand. There should be a limit on duration of re-election. All leaders are subject to peer appraisal.
6. What new roles would be a priority to improve schools systemically.
7. What should schools stop doing by 2020?
7.1. Are innovations from schools or teachers?
7.2. Maybe the schools need stop competing with eachother, has anyone seen this khan academy yet?
7.2.1. We've seen the effectiveness of video conferencing between schools across different continents but have we ever simply tried the other one down the street? Has anyone ever thought, even considered, that that old rivalry between schools could be transformed into a competitive energy in academic performance as much as it is in sports?
7.2.1.1. And not simply just between the students, seeing other teachers and members of staff trying new educational techniques can encourage innovation in other practitioners and we raise the standard of a city as a whole rather than just having one group of children happy in a dynamic and innovative school and another group wishing they'd got into that school instead of their current one.
7.2.1.1.1. “But, they will worry, a decade or so down the line, when those infant “losers” are transformed into disaffected youths hanging threateningly around the mall, teenage mums devouring tax payer’s money, or criminals who don’t see why they should give a dam about the welfare of the moneyed classes.” (Palmer, 2006) We can't raise in one school a group of "winners" only to brand everyone else "losers", schools by 2020 need to stop thinking about their own and start figuring out the cold hard truth: If education isn't working across the board, it isn't working anywhere. schools shouldn't be on leaderboards, they're there to educate not compete.
