Well I reckon I would be lost with out the use of ICT in the class room! It is such a useful and easy way to get so many things done, from research to record keeping.
We are now living in a world where the use of ICT has gotten to the point that it plays a major role in our every day lives that we actually have a responsibility to incorporate it into our teaching practice. We need to be able to teach our students not only to be same on the web but also how to be savvy.
I think that one of the most important things that, as a history teacher, I will ever teach my students is how to conduct meaningful research. I want my students to be able jump online and have the ability to sort through the crap that is online and be able to make informed judgement and opinions about the data and information they find.
I can imagine that with in every discipline there is a need to incorporated ICT. It is exciting (and a little daunting) to think that even what we are teaching now, and think is cutting edge will be out dated and remade into something better by the time our students enter the work force.
ICT is the way if the future, we need to embrace it!
