Thanks Mike and Margaret for a wonderful summary of the history of IWB's  
introduction to education in England.
 
I think we can now reflect on this experience,move the discussion on and  
ask ourselves "What can we learn from this and what would we do differently 
if  another "Charles Clarke moment" should ever arise?
 
Best  Wishes,

" While this study has looked closely at the impact of ICT on how  pupils 
learn and how this might be enhanced....it has not addressed the impact  of 
what they learn or where learning takes place and whether the schools of the  
future will be the physical entities we have today" The Impact of ICT in

"Using technology to improve  education is not rocket science...it is 
much,much harder than that" Diana  Laurillard, Opening Up Education 2009

"An intensified activity in this  area will lead educational institutions 
to realize that they are embedded in a  globalised and constantly evolving 
knowledge society, and that, as a  consequence, they will have to redefine 
their role within society and within the  learning process."
