I think that almost all we were taught was useless: we used Macromedia (yes, not Adobe) Dreamweaver and Fireworks, Office 2003 and other pieces of old software. As well as everything we learnt being pointless and useless, it was also learning stuff we already knew. I'm one of the better ones in my class at ICT, but nobody has issues with making PowerPoint presentations. I would absolutely love to build a computer or make a program, but the teaching standards really aren't there. I feel intimidated about ICT A-level, as I have very basic knowledge of coding (HTML and VB.net), and I think it will be too advanced. Finally, in my 'Key Skills Test' I was amazed by how dated it was. In a very poorly written question about website, the screenshot clearly showed the computer was running Internet Explorer 4 or 5- why is the subject about technology and the future stuck in the past?

Not all schools are like this and I would hope to seem more like it in the future. The links the school has with things like the ICT Register show that they share good practice and hopefully this article will mean more sharing too. However, some reality checks need to be made to get it good in all schools. It is good to see a few good news stories about IT and ICT in schools.

To integrate "IT" into the curriculum as you suggest is the case here, requires substantial continuing investment in hardware, Software, and technical support; as well as substantial staff-training. caviar The main issue that most schools grapple with is lack of funds.

It seems that if you just learn the spec you do well, but I got a disappointing grade because I got confused in the exam as to which answer to choose (one which springs to mind was a multiple choice question about which storage medium to use to transport a file, the answer to which were all perfectly viable options). II was beaten by someone who didn't know what a ZIP file was. To add to this, it seems that when it comes to the coursework the exam board haven't heard of linux. I did the ICT GCSE a few years ago.
