Today was helpful from the standpoint of the philosophy of I.T. It was interesting to hear of the very similar stories people had to tell of teaching I.T in their schools. It was also interesting to challenge our ideas of exactly what I.T is and what it looks like in a school.

I am looking forward to talking and learning some more hands on strategies, tools, activities, etc.

Steps for me as an educator...

1. Start to use other facets of I.T, etc. Digital cameras, I-pods for recording reading, 2. Try implementing collaborative recording software in classroom discussion, e.g what we have been using today. 3. Start to take more risks in the ways of implementing I.T into my classroom programme, e.g. Use the school forums more

Steps for my school...

1. Improve hardware, e.g. Laptops, cameras, etc. 2. Improve server 3. Regular professional development for teachers.
