I completely agree with what you've said about being able to install things easily and quickly. However I don't agree with this bit:
"I think much of the problem is a hearts-and-minds issue though. Many teachers simply don't have the knowledge to see that shonky sub-contracted set-up is sub-standard and a terrible pedagogical platform."
Most teachers have absolutely no choice about how their network is configured :( Whether they know or don't know anything is irrelevant, because it's something they have no say in whatsoever. If you're going to go after anyone's hearts and minds it needs to be management as they are the ones who make the decisions.
Hi Laura,
That's exactly what I meant. Unfortunately, I lumped "teachers" together
- I should have clarified that I meant "teachers who manage the decisions about IT provision" (usually the SMT). ;-)
Thanks for forcing the clarification..!
Also, please don't just lurk, it's good to hear contributions from "real teachers" (tm).
All the best,
N.
