OK, I've been waiting for an oportunity to ask the following question and this seems the right juncture. What do members of this list think of the National Curriculum for ICT and the new KS3 strategy? Iam an ICT co-ordinator, presently trying to get th KS3 stuff into school using OpenOffice.org. Whenever I read the new framework, the National Curriculum, or any government advisory document I feel very uneasy about what I am being 'told' to teach young people. regards garry ps. Mark, sorry for the dual post.
