Making ICT more interesting: 5 suggestions
It’s an unfortunate fact that the issues I raised in my book ‘Go on, bore ‘em: how to make ICT lessons excruciatingly dull’ are still relevant today.
This has been clearly demonstrated in our interview with Edith, a 14 year-old, recently, and it’s also apparent from emails and other messages I receive. So what can be done about it?

But where are the kids?
One of the big absences at most
educational conferences, as far as I'm concerned, is children and young
people. Let's be honest: you would have no idea, walking into most
conferences, whether you were attending an event about education or one
about how to improve the market share of widgets.

is hard to get this right, without a doubt -- not least because of
child safety considerations -- but the more I think about it the more
important I think it is to involve young people in conferences in meaningful ways.
