ABSTRACT

One obvious way to use ICT is with interactive whiteboards. These will doubtless be on the walls of every classroom in the very near future. Even TVs, CD players, tape-recorders and overhead projectors can be thought of as ICT. The important thing is the context in which they are used. Instances might include:

listening to a story on a CD player while following the text in a book;

skipping through a DVD to find a particular piece of information;

using a digital voice recorder to interview a local historian about the area, then using that recording as part of a walking tour;

gathering data on the noise from a nearby road using sound sensors for an environmental science project.
