      For me personally I have seen many of these technologies being used in learning and teaching. Eg - The use of Ipads and computer labs, using the smart board to do internet searches as a whole class by encouraging the students to think about key words relating to what they are researching, and using a software application called Tux Paint to re-create a story scene as an extension from an English project.

      I thought that was the old definition of ICT and that its new definition embraced anything that was available for communication purposes, storing data, gathering it, sharing it, etc. as seen in the Hello Kitty video. I fully support the idea that ICT is not regarded as a piece of equipment but it should be a way of life where it is a/any tool used for whatever is required so rather than thinking how we can incorporate ICT into the school curriculum, it should simply be one of the avenues used by students to achieve what they want to achieve.

      The ability of ICTs to support communication, collaboration and knowledge building are important. Have you used ICTs for any of these?

      Yes, the classroom that I work in has a little down syndrome girl who uses an iPad for communication.  I know of another class who has a student diagnosed with dyslexia and he uses a computer for typing up all his work.

      It is 8+ years since Lloyd wrote this piece. In very recent times we've seen the Digital Education Revolution - where many students were given laptops - but that is now slowly moving onto the BYOD (bring your own device) era. An era where students are allowed (of if they are not, they still do anyway) their own devices (phones, tablets, computers). It's likely that BYOD is likely to end up with "a similarly disparate and motley collection of machines of different capacities and configurations", what are the implications for teaching?
    • Colleen Lenehan
      Colleen Lenehan on 22 Jul 13
       
      Surely this would encourage discrimination between the students with everyone knowing who had expensive/cheap computers with out of date/the latest versions of software packages. That being the case then it will increase the difficulty of the teacher to both teach ICT and allow the students to use their own forms of ICT. Firstly, because more recent software packages allow greater flexibility (usually) so some students will be physically capable of more complex software usage and also it would be a lot harder to guage what all students are doing on their ICT equipment as a quick glance will not necessarily let the teacher know where each student is at with their work.
  • The configuration of computers in schools may range from individual machines, to distributed models, and to sophisticated networks

      I work in a school that has recently rolled out Samsung slates to all students in grades 4-6.  Next year they are going to roll them out from grade 7-12, and then, the year after in grades P-3.  They have also commenced using a program called D2L (Desire to learn), to deliver the content to students.  It has been very interesting to see how different teachers have coped with the changes.  Some embrace it and have done an amazing job of incorporating it into their teaching, while others have resisted the changes and really struggled with incorporating it into their classrooms.  No matter what ICTs the school has available it seems, to me anyway, that the teacher will be the crucial factor as to whether these ICTs are used successfully and appropriately.
    • Colleen Lenehan
      Colleen Lenehan on 22 Jul 13
       
      I agree with you, Kate. When people resist what has to be done, then there is no creativity or extensions or allowing the students to be risk takers themselves. This is borne out by Toomey (2001) when part of his definition of ICT actually includes "manipulating" and "communicating".
  • There is no standard school configuration of machines

      How true is this... I have been to a few schools for prac and each school has a different focus on ICT.  One school I attended had a computer lab, put the screens were the good old huge dinosaur ones.  Then another school I attend had two computer labs full of up-to-date computers with flat screens etc.  It's a same that schools aren't all the same.

      I agree Donna, unfortunatley that's where funding and grants come into it as well as the hard work of the fundraising activities, sometimes the budget focus is on other areas as well. Access and equity in relation to current technology is a major issue in educational equality and very topical too.

    This is something worth reading! Have you considered the long term effects of WIFI in the classroom on student health? Or maybe your childrens health? Watch the Video and be informed. As teachers we have a moral obligation to ensure the safety of students.

    You may also wish to explore a little further on this issue, rather than just rely on a single source. Teachers also have an obligation to be fully informed.

    WIFI - The uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind There are little to no studies of the long-term effects of EMFs and on a developing brains, which are physiologically more vulnerable than the adult brain for a number of reasons. With WIFI being a relatively recent technology, there is a gap in the literature addressing longitudinal studies of EMF and children. If you wish to view a recent peer reviewed study assessing just the short-term effects you may read Kuzniar et al. (2017). As we know, in our current metropolitan environment we are exposed to EMFs constantly. Markov and Grigoriev (2013) have clearly addressed some of the ethical and political issues arising from the use of WIFI technology and the unregulated global approach and safety guidelines. Grigoriev has explored this with a number of peer-reviewed studies. One that I found interesting was his article "Cellular communications and public health, 2012". From what I have read, there seems to be a consensus in the scientific community that this is an area for further research as conclusive results of the long-term effects of EMF on children cannot be found. Further reading is included below (apologies for inconsistent referencing style): Grigoriev & Markov (2013) Wi-Fi technology - an uncontrolled global experiment on the health of mankind: http://dx.doi.org/10.3109/15368378.2013.776430 Kuzinar et al.

    Thank you for sharing I watched the video and it certainly illuminates some serious concerns not only in schools but also in our homes. I will now be looking at where our wifi unit will be situated and taking a closer look at our homes technologicial set up. This is very important to share and my children will be taking a look at this video later today. I have also read about some experiments students have done at school with a living plant that they placed near the computer and Wi-Fi as a science experiment I will see if I can find the link. I agree it is also important to research such a topic to get a broader scope of the situation. Regards Faye U1069753

    Thanks for your input Faye, The intent of my original post was not to create hysteria but to encourage critical thinking, as National Government institutions can be slow to respond to new global research...especially when it may challenge our current 'comfortable' way of life and assumptions. Cheers, u1070429

    Thank you for sharing this information. My thoughts are an education in civilised countries can't function without these devices. Children response to technology than any other educational diverse. There are more positive than negative. Using technology in the 21st century is helping our kids engage in the classroom, and our children need these devices to function in their learning to become capable and able students in future. I work in a school setting where the majority of the student's complete task using computer and iPad. We as teachers need these devices to function properly in our role as educators. Technology is fun, engaging and reliable to some extent, these methods over the years have help to improve our student outcome. Thanks, Joy
