From the courses I have undertaken as part of this MA I realise how exciting e-learning could be for the pupils. I have watched clips from Teacher’s TV of children using avatars to aid in their foreign languages for example. Yet I see none of this in the school I teach at. Why? I think mainly due to the lack of computers. With one computer suite that requires children to share computers and classes to share the timetable, opportunity is limited. I do wonder however, even if these limitations were not there, how many of the staff would embrace the technologies.

Hello Adele, I also have the same problem in my school. Many staff will not take the time to use e-learning facilities even though they would increase their effiency and reduce workload. I think that it need to be driven from the top of the school downward and embedded in schemes of work etc. I suspect however, that until all subjects have access to computers in all subects, all the time that this wont happen.
