So what is ICT then?!?!?!?

Apologies to anyone that this seems to be teaching to suck eggs but I thought I would start with the basics!

This is because when talking to the bulk of the teacher community most have quite a narrow definition of what ICT is. There is a common misconception that ICT is simply the computers that are in the computer rooms or if your posh the IT Suites. However, if we allow ourselves to keep this narrow definition we are restricting a whole load of possibilities that involves more than just powerpoint presentations or booking the computer rooms for coursework!

ICT in fact stands for Information and Communication Technology and while yes it does include the rather static computers ICT includes digital cameras, video cameras, mobile phones, video/dvd players, web cams, personal organisers, radio and even things like playstation portables or Ipods.
