‘The effective leaders and citizens of the 21st century will be those were able to see connections where previously no link is being made. They will see solutions to the problems previous generations have been unable to solve. They will build connections and establish relationships between previously unrelated ideas, people and activities.’ ‘As with every generation, the world in which those are becoming adults is not the same as the world in which we grew up. The digital world brings with it infinite opportunities to collaborate, innovate and reinvent. Information no longer has a gatekeeper. So we have a new role in the classroom, and with this role comes a new skill set. With all this democratisation, we need to be skillful enough to quality assure the information in order to help learners make informed decisions and insightful selections about what they take notice of and what they dismiss. We must be guardians of the creation of knowledge. We must require learners to apply rigour selection criteria to what they choose to share and upload as well as when and how they interact with others and how they create and maintain their own online presence. Tricky thing is that this is very different from how most teachers express learning themselves or, indeed, what we were originally thinking our roles were.’

Why is this Important to you? • ICT competency is integral to the NC • Education has to be relevant to the real changing world & that means teaching ICT • As you are no doubt aware its can be embarrassing how much the students know • It really has revolutionised so many aspects of our work • Underestimating ICT and the speed of change will be foolish……
