In this article ‘How ICT policy is infected by Neo-Liberalism.’ it states that the introduction of ICT into classrooms is far more problematic that was thought.

It also comments on how computer technology is a pumlic concern as the real value of computers is unknowm.

The article is critisising the use of computer technology to learn as it says that computers send the wrong message by making learning colurful and fun when it actually requires hard work and discipline.

I completely disagree with this article as i believe children do and can learn from digital technology. I also beleive that children need fun, colourful and interactive environments to become engaged and hence learn.

I also disagree with the article when it describes how ICT growth is problematic in schools. I feel that it is a step forward and it is a great new way to teach with so many more opportunities.

 Here is my SONG 10-dancing-on-water-jesse-manno

What learning styles does this ICT support? 

A sound file helps students who are able to listen and then comprehend what is happening.

How could this ICT be implemented as a good cognitive tool within the learning environment?

It can be used for younger children to help them remember certain things. It is also really fun and different to listrening to the teacher talking which engages them.

How is this ICT enabling the development of creativity?

Music enables children to act out actions or remember rhymes. It can also be used to signal starting or beginning a topic. It lets children develop creastivity by imagining what the music is making them feel.
