None yet. We are in the process of planning the spending of a large IT loan we are taking out at the moment. The ipods will be part of the mix which will include laptops, ipods and perhaps ipads as well.

It looks good. Once people have seen it a couple of times it would take some careful planning to make something of value or real impact.

I wonder about whether we as teachers set the same goals for ourselves.  Do we want to push past our levels of comfort?  Do we want to be scaffolded (or go and find scaffolds for ourselves) to move to higher levels and better outcomes?  Do we want to feel challenged?  Are we willing to use ‘experts’ to support us through the Zone of Proximal Development from watching the expert, doing with the expert and finally becoming the expert?

When we relate these questions to using E-Learning and ICT applications in our curriculum development and teaching, we need to determine whether we are willing to use students as the experts to teach us?  Are we willing to be out of our comfort zone in front of our students, until we have tried and tried again to succeed?

I recently listened to an interview with a fourteen year old student as the guest speaker.  She claims that teachers only teach ICT to the level where the teachers feel comfortable, and then the teachers stop teaching ICT.  As young people today have skills well above the ICT skills of most of their teachers, they are effectively ‘undertaught’ by the teachers in terms of ICT skills.

Whose level of comfort is important in our classrooms: The teachers’ comfort or the students’ comfort?  If teachers refuse to move past their own levels of comfort in front of their students, are we in fact robbing students of the opportunity to see that true learning, and the art of improving yourself, is a life-long task?

A fantastic article worth reading that explores teacher vs student expertise in ICLT and it's implications with teaching an learning. The interview at the bottom is also worth a listen, it is an interview with Edith, a student in England speaking about ICLT in her learning. She recently spoke at a TeachMeet, and in the interview, explores many aspects of ICLT in the classroom, including wether ICLT should be treated as an integrated, or separate subject.
