Teachers see IT, Internet and Imagination replace the three Rs - Public Technology
Teachers in further education are increasingly using computers, the internet and other learning technologies on a daily basis as essential teaching tools. Evidence from a newly published report from the Learning and Skills Development Agency (LSDA) shows the spread of information and learning technology (ILT) within post-16 education and the positive impact it is having on both teachers and students. The developing impact of ILT is a report (published on 17 January) based on findings from extensive surveys and interviews with staff and students in post-16 education. It has been carried out on behalf of LSDA by Sheffield Hallam University. The report concludes that the majority of staff and students in colleges are highly enthusiastic about the use of technology for teaching and learning, and ready to embrace its expansion. A growing number of staff are now using technology, but there is much to be done to ensure that everyone knows how to use the range to its full potential. http://www.lsda.org.uk/home.asp
