Quality of education

Last day I was talking with my cousin (15 years old, secondary school)…

 “We were using computers for learning about cell division. We were able to search information on our own, at the end we only needed to fill the worksheet. Our biology lessons are always fun.”

And it made me think…

Well, no doubt, it was fun; the children have had free hands on using network during classes. But it was also instructive? The use of ICT in education contains many pitfalls that need to be made aware.

1. Use of ICT can give unnecessary information.
2. Use of ICT can be time-consuming if not well planned.
3. Use of ICT can increase differences in learning (among students).

And to sum up these findings: Use of ICT does not automatically add quality!
