Changes

The second aspect that this course differs from traditional ICT courses is in the development of critical discourse around technology.  ICT are altering society in ways that impact the way we live, we relate to one another, the work we do and of course, the way we learn.  ICT are powerful in creating opportunities as well as exclusions.  As practitioners of education, it is important that teachers (and teacher educators) must engage themselves with the larger issues of technology in society - in terms of accessible technology architecture and platforms, availability of digital tools that allow for equitable participation by all and ethical and privacy concerns around participating in an increasingly networked world.
