Huh,
Was reading over the responses to this issue in the group blog. The last comment struck me because the person wondered whether there had been some straying from the topic about the understanding of the integrated approach, to the challenges of same in the schools.
Really? I find that you cannot talk about the one without the other, if we are looking at making learning meaningful. Looking over my own comment, I think I do discuss the integrated approach, but also the challenges embedded in its use.
I know we were reading recently about how it seems to be the older teachers who are more involved in the use of ICTs and all that it means for education as we know it. However, I find it hard to understand the reluctance to integrate the classroom. We have three year groups with computers-none of which I teach. I cannot help feeling that by now, integration should have moved beyond the internet-sourced assignment to the production of original material. I have only seen 3 teachers do that to date: an English teacher, an Accounts teacher and a Fabric and Design teacher.
