I must have been exceptionally tired or frustrated with life yesterday!<br /><br />What I was trying to say was:<br /><br />We (in Dunoon) have the problem that the computers in DGS are mainly PC, yet in Primary School the children are used to working with Macs. So that's is a problem in itself, nevermind the internet. I find blogging a completley different experience on a PC. <br /><br />Remember the days when the machine used to break in your room? Who would you get to help? An outsider - The genius himself! Therefore, as said above, we need more technical support in schools if we are going to move into an "ICT" world.The Music-Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126082041533795799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-78103717079486505092006-11-22T12:39:00.000+00:002006-11-22T12:39:00.000+00:00Thanks, Andrew - I've had some interesting discuss...Thanks, Andrew - I've had some interesting discussions on the back of this one!

So even doing a word-processing document is a mystery in itself...<br /><br />I do think schools on the whole need more computer technicians. Afterall, the blackboard is disappearing and the Smartboard is taking over - what if it breaks?
