In gaining awareness and some familiarity with a range of tools through this course the thing that resonates with me is that it is only scratching the surface of possibilities. I remember computers coming into schools for the first time in the early 80s and my mind boggles at the fact that the computing power of those first units is today dwarfed by a musical birthday card.
We will learn a lot from students about how to teach in the next few years - but it is also important to remember that for all its wonder, the ICT of today is still predominantly just abstract patterns produced by the burning of coal.
