Mal Lee spoke at the Blue Mountains ACE group yesterday on the revolution that is really not happening yet in Australia. 'Normalisation' of technoloigy has not happened yet in our schools. He said that the technology is not as important as the expert using the tool - the TEACHER - we have all heard that before... and he went on to say that most teachers just replicate the old technology with the new. He spoke of nine critical variables and finally took questions where his views on current government initiatives, the secret of the success in the UK, and educational outcomes from additional use of technology. Again, here is a link to an audio plus my untidy notes!
