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:

  • Tech ICT skills through reflection, not via traditional skills lessons, by utilising a skills matrix to determine what needs to be taught and where
