  • implement personalised learning.
    • katrina carpenter
       
      this is an important area. Used correctly ICT can support students that require greater levels of scaffolding and do so in a way that allows the student to maintain control of their own learning path.

  •  
    digital natives and digital immigrants- An interesting read however dated the figures may be.
