The Great Divide - ICT vs Work Books

As part of the integration of IT into the classroom, initially in Stage 4, but with the view of extending the process in Stage 5 and 6, the year 7 team are working on an iLE@RN project of investigating ways in which Moodle and other Web 2.0 tools, such a Wikis, Blogs, Nings and Google Docs can assist teachers in crossing the exercise book/notebook divide for the recording of student’s regular work.

We are now looking for comments from you all on how the process could/should work. Some of the questions that need to be addressed are;-
What are the positives for students and teachers?
What are the pitfalls?
How do we maintain our focus on literacy and numeracy?
How can we make sure we can access, mark and provide feedback?
What happens to the students who don't have access to a laptop at school?
What happens on Thursday sports day?

I am sure there are many other questions that need to be addressed! Your comments and thoughts are requested! To leave a comment or add to a discussion click on the add comment link below.
