 * Comments from the Table to be added below**

Skills Knowledge and literacies

students expect: learning to be enriched by ICT to be connected to world while at school to learn outside school to learn in social ways

Asses & Curriculum we are defining a 21st C curriculum but... have to assess students differently rather than just pencil paper

Teaching methods Its not about 21st century...its about engaging students using the ICT-enabled modes of learning that engage and enthuse students.

validy and viability of schools at risk if fail to engage students with the ICT they expect risk of reduced student engagementif dont meet student expectations for ICT in learning

need to re-cooncepualise what schools do in light of rapid technology advancement

mismatch...21st century tech, 18th century schools systems, expectations of school behavoiur

Roles need policy and legal framework to protect and enable schools systems, teachers to be more proactive with new technologies e.g. web 2.0 e.g. online bullying much harder to resolve for schools than schoolyard bullying
