Why do you assume you are not suitably qualified or experienced to contribute directly to this, Chris? On reason why educators have gotten themselves in such a mess over the sensible teaching of ICT is their professional arrogance. Indeed I've come across far too many educators who possess an unshakable conviction that anyone who possesses QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) must by definition be infinitely inferior in every way to everyone else who resides outside of 'Fortress Education' -- it's a cultural thing. What's needed to make a success of a project such as this are contributions from across the widest possible spectrum ICT interest and use. Even novice users of ICT can make a highly significant contribution. Indeed, back when I used to run a computer services support department we found comparatively new users of software often made far better trainers compared with others who had a lot more experience. Why? Because they were a lot closer to the experience of the new users they were training and therefore tended not to gloss over the basics. So you are not only welcome to join in Chris, I'm also certain you are well capable of making a valuable contribution. David Bowles TeacherLab / Education-Support
I hope there are any number of people on this list, who, unlike myself are suitably qualified and experienced to contribute directly to this. Hopefully on SchoolForge-UK (open development as well as open source) or strongly linked. Where I can help, I'm willing to do so.
Regards
Chris
