There is a lot to be excited about and it seems that the IB are on board with establishing ICT as an integral part of 21st century learning. I agree that all PYP teachers should be ICT teachers much in the way that all PYP teachers should see themselves as language teachers. However, the problem is when an EOL student needs support from a teacher, that teacher is a fluent English speaker but when a child needs support in ICT, the teacher may well be far from fluent. The importance of ongoing PD and support from schools to make this all happen is absolutely essential and teachers must be given time to take ownership of new understanding. Perhaps, what will happen is that all schools will end up demanding a certain foundation level of understanding for teachers to even secure a position at the school.
