Vision

Ict makes teaching and learning

• More effective

• More efficient

• More interesting

vision

• Teachers need a vision with broad support within the school that was developed with teachers

• Knowledge transfer continues to be important

Knowledge construction will become more important

• Teachers agree that the use of ICT applications will increase in the future.

Expertise

• Teachers are more likely to have the technical skills they need to operate a computer than the pedagogical skills necessary to teach using a computer

• More than 40% of teachers feel that they are inadequately equipped to use ICT confidently in their lessons

Learning materials

• Demand for useful, practical digital learning materials. Needs are not met

• A sixth of the learning materials used at primary and secondary schools are digital

• A combination of different measures is needed to resolve the present deadlock

Infrastructure

• Investments in broad band

and interactive whiteboards

• 1 to 4 computer ratio

• Laptops, laptops, laptops…

• Teachers think a 1 to 1 ratio is necessary

Conclusions

• Proven success rate largely ignored in schools

• Can we continue our permissive approach?

• Leadership is crucial
