The need for more resources is a 'constant' in education. This is particularly true in relation to technology and computing. Miles Berry addresses this issue here in his usual comprehensive and positive manner.Among the words of wisdom:'Neither the baby nor the bath water of ICT has been thrown out: the creative projects that pupils undertook under the old curriculum still have a place in the new one.'
'..much of the new material in the curriculum can be taught without using any computers at all'
'..to best support learning and teaching with technology across the curriculum, a first class internet connection seems essential – ideally one in which the school can take responsibility for decisions over what sites are and are not permitted. With the potential of iPads, Android tablets and Chromebooks to provide 1:1 access to the web, robust wifi provision would also be high up my shopping list, and not just for the computing curriculum.'
