Jot 1 A Burnt Out Case

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

Graham Greene characters usually seemed to agonise about their loss of faith. Lately I am feeling their pain - despite being an atheist. I feel that traditional (yes, hehe) ICT teaching is beginning to miss the point (as the point is very much changing). I also feel that a lot  of the commercial software we peddle is over complex and can only be accessed by pupils at home by piracy anyway as it is way to expensive for their parental pockets. (Think of MS Office, or Macromedia Studio at commercial rates! Oh and yes, I do ritually explain about how piracy is wrong, but I still accept their homework and ask no questions…) So the 24 hour learning by doing that is the logic of ICT now is not going to happen that way.
