//Technology is the reality of today's and tomorrows children, so we need to embrace, support and utilise these.// //**Teach new things in new ways with new technologies...not old things in new ways.**// //Just because "we didn't do it that way" doesn't mean it isn't a good thing to do, get with the times and think about the uses for technologies such as mobile phones, digital cameras. Our students need to use the technologies of their generation.// ........................................................... || || Practical – Raising Literacy Levels through use of digital technologies pdf version

Focus on all learners - not just those below the standard. Cater for intrinsic incentive, authentic feedback, genuine audience and a variety of ways of learning and expressing ideas. Web 2.0 tools such as Voicethread, Podomatic, Blogs, Wikis, Wallwisher offer these innovative ways of working that engage students. || ||
