2. “Os bydd y dosbarth yn methu darparu mynediad di-dor at ddysgu technoleg gyfoethog, ac yn methu hwyluso a datblygu sgiliau pobl ifanc mewn TGC o fewn a thu allan i’r cyd-destun ysgol, yna mae yna’r posibilrwydd hefyd y bydd ein pobl ifanc yn peidio â chymryd rhan lawn yn eu dysgu. Gallent yn llythrennol ‘ddiffodd’ o’r amgylchedd dysgu ysgol. “If classrooms fail to allow seamless access to technology rich learning, and fail to facilitate and develop the use of young people’s ICT skills within and outside the school context, then it is also possible that our young people might cease to engage fully in their learning. They could literally ‘switch off’ from the school learning environment”.

3. Sonia ‘Strategaeth TGC ar gyfer y Sector Cyhoeddus yng Nghymru’ a dogfen Llywodraeth Cymru 2011 ‘Cymru Ddigidol: Cynllun Gweithredu’ yn glir am yr angen i ... “drin yr her o dueddiadau sy’n esblygu’n gyflym mewn TGC, cyfryngau digidol a’r rhyngrwyd mewn modd sy’n canolbwyntio ar y dinesydd – cofleidio’r cyfleoedd a gorchmynion y byd hwn sy’n esblygu’n gyflym”. The ‘ICT Strategy for the Public Sector in Wales’ and the 2011 Welsh Government document ‘Digital Wales: Action Plan’ clearly state the need to… “address the challenges of rapidly evolving trends in ICT, digital media and the internet in a citizen-focussed way - embracing the opportunities and imperatives of this rapidly evolving world”.
