Editor's Notes
- #5: Prep teachers are flat out all of the time.Need technology to work or it can turn out badlyDon’t use ICT for the sake of ICT, how will it enhance the lesson. Great to have a parent helper who many know what they are doing.Keep groups small so you can easily supervise specific ICT tasks such as taking digital photos.
