Facing a challenge

This year my school has been challenged to tackle ICT more than ever before. In a staff meeting this week we were shown a few video clips which highlighted the expectations of today's students who have grown up surrounded by digital devices. To engage these students we need to utilise ICT and look for ways to integrate it into our teaching.

In the past we have been limited by access to computers for whole classes but soon we will have lots of new computers courtesy of the "Digital Education Revolution" funding. Now we need to take to time to learn new skills and approaches so these new computers will do more than just provide access to Word and Internet Explorer for 90% of the time.
