What is actually happening with ICT in education?

In 1979, when I first began working with personal computers in schools, there were few enough of them in Queensland schools that for the next few years somebody was able to publish an annual report listing the computers in schools and describing the uses to which they were being put. Twenty years later, there were few, if any, schools in Queensland that did not have Internet connected computers available for use in teaching and learning.Since that time there have been policy developments and new programs. Although the proportion of classrooms in which significant use of ICT is embedded will probably have increased, it seems likely that the application of ICT to teaching and learning in Queensland schools remains "patchy".
