I think one issue that we have to tackle, particularly given the staffing profile in Victorian schools, is a degree of teacher scepticism re the technolgy and students raltionship with it. Last year intoduced some of Mark Prensky's ideas to staff and received an number of comments re instant gratification and student inability to stay on task. To get to a point where the technology is implicit to the learning we have help staff move from the "pull down " concept and really focus on what personalisation means and how e support student voice- then the technology becaomes critical.

So do you think our classrooms (students and teachers) are properly equipped with the new 'pen and paper' for the 21st Century? Interesting comment Darrel. So do you think our classrooms (students and teachers) are properly equipped with the new ‘pen and paper’ for the 21st Century?

I tend to agree. In the past you have posted about the technology being 'integral' to the learning rather than just an add on. I believe it is for students growing up in the digital age. I also recall David Warlick suggesting that he didn't care if technology made a difference or not, it is the 'pen and paper' of this generation - food for thought. Hmm... now I better read that Kimble report! Hi Helen,
