I agree with Alan’s observation that many of the ICT developments and applications currently being debated as applicable for use in education are already widely available in the public domain. Effective ICT provision in schools is increasingly complex and its availability is education critical. Current and emerging technologies are often our ‘future’ technologies, and if supportive of learning, require wide availability, supported and used by learners and teachers in our schools. How we enable availability and access is the challenge that we are all grappling with. If we can improve agility and acceptance of change we can narrow the gap between current and future ICT in our schools. Creating an environment that accommodates change is challenging.
