Ensuring authentic tech integration without neglecting essential ICT skills

With the understandable rush to embrace authentic, integrated technology, we are in danger of losing a broad, balanced set of IT skills. But can we really have these without reverting to the bad old days of lab teaching? Yes we can, by addressing:
  • The myth of change: Contrary to popular opinion, tech skills are not changing as quickly as you might think
  • Define and focus on the five core domains of tech: video, image, audio, text and data handling
  • Tech ICT skills through reflection, not via traditional skills lessons, by utilising a skills matrix to determine what needs to be taught and where
