I would agree with that. I think there is enormous potential for creativity, for dynamism, for reaching learners with different styles and different abilities, and for bringing information and resources to the classrooms. There is tremendous potential there.
What I see, and this is purely on an anecdotal basis as a parent, is not a lot of guidance coming from the schools, not a lot of information. My 10-year-old daughter brought home an acceptable computing use form that she had to sign before she could go to the computing lab. It had things on it like “I agree that I will not engage in copyright infringement”. I asked her if she understood what copyright infringement was or what activities would constitute that. She had no idea. There are plenty of adults who have absolutely no idea. Had anyone at the school talked to her about it? No.
There is just not a lot of dialogue. I think the role of government in those contexts, perhaps, as has been mentioned already, is to facilitate education, to provide more opportunities to community groups and other organizations to carry out these functions. There is a richness of opportunity, but I think there is also a paucity of information and education.
