ICT in schools is a mess

Every day we work in environments which are completely different to those of twenty-five or a hundred years ago.

A Victorian schoolteacher could enter a 21st century classroom and feel completely at home. Whiteboards may have eliminated chalk dust, chairs may have migrated from rows to groups, but a teacher still stands in front of the class, talking, testing and questioning.

But that model won’t be the same in twenty years’ time. It may well be extinct in ten.

Our school system has not prepared children for this new world.

Much existing teaching practice may well not benefit greatly from new technologies.
