Challenges – where are we now?
• Are our teachers going into every lesson
asking how can I improve this lesson?
• When will we be able to deliver the curriculum
through intensive use of ICT?
• How can we ensure that students have the
best learning technologies?
• How can we achieve connectivity through a
Virtual Learning Environment connection in
every home?
• How can we use Web Based MIS/sync. to
ensure that we reduce the administrative
burden on teachers?
Challenges – where are we now?
• Do we have a conceptual view of how
students learn?
• To what extent do our teachers look at and
research Web sites to do with brain
function and pedagogy?
• Are we organising our schools/colleges
based on how students learn or are we
simply replicating the past?
• Are we ensuring that our children have the
opportunity to develop their ‘creative’
skills?
Challenges – where are we now?
• How can we stop teachers leaving the profession and
recruit and retain new teachers?
• How can we link all our staff through real-time
information systems?
• How can we change the community’s view of
education?
• Are we ensuring that students are developing a
portfolio of personalised competencies?
• Are we offering students the most up to date low risk
365 X 24 learning?
• How can we make the best use of the resources we
have?
• Are we developing our Digital Nervous System?
Challenges
How can we ensure that ‘learners’ can
order their ‘learning’ and ensure that
they receive it:
• at the right price?
• at the right quality?
• at the right time?

leading edge models showing leadership
and innovation in the area of technology
• Schools that are dynamic learning
communities, where students are
stimulated and teachers are facilitators of
learning and knowledge management
