5. Slide 5 Eight conversations SAICTED second team meeting - Goedgedacht, March 2012 But these people, surely some of them would have some skills? Some of them, but some of them absolutely knew nothing. [Chuck, Senior Citizens Club, San Diego, CA, USA, 2011/05/08] Tell me about some of the great things you are able to do in the classroom with the kids. We've just introduced the i-Pads - we have six i- Pads, three of them are the new i-Pad 2 - they came today - we haven't had the chance to play with them yet. But we are allowed to take them home … there are a lot of educational apps that are out there you can use [Lami, Pre-primary teacher,, 2011/05/16] Are we just touching on the issue of pedagogy? You start off with the basic thought that we all babble about pedagogy, and yet none of us have ever been trained in it. [Ken, Sometime Dean and Teaching Chair, Toronto, Canada, 2011/04/28] The integration story … ? Well I've just come across on the ferry this morning and said "Sir, are you the 'father' of CECIL?" and I said "well, one of them!" and he said "I just came back to university, I've been away five years and when I logged in everything is still there! All the classes were there that I took before, all my notes, all my stuff, that's an amazing system!" I said "that's the way we designed it" [Don, Business faculty, Auckland NZ, 2011/05/17]

10. Slide 10 Issues SAICTED second team meeting - Goedgedacht, March 2012

11. Slide 11 So what? They see the context in educational terms, but education is changing dramatically for external non-educational reasons. Strategic thinking about information management is fixated on the technology (at one end) and on the organisational strategy (at the other - but it is WEAK thinking) - amazingly, the benefits (of ICTs) are the least thought of. There are more problems than opportunities, more attention is needed to actual educational topics, dependencies and experimentation. When talking of resources, the focus is the activities that education involves - to be expected? SAICTED second team meeting - Goedgedacht, March 2012 We can see things at a still higher level:
