Why is all this ICT stuff so important?

The FordLog » Blog Archive » Gareth Davies on Phil Beadle

I think I've found a key quote that will allow us to understand precisely why web 2.0 initiatives are just so important.
To not be engaged in the forms of communication that this technology
affords means, as an English teacher, you are unable to inform and educate
students on how to become a constructive member of today’s society.

It comes from Gareth Davies, one of many educators who understand the relevancy of ICT in education today. What he writes, especially in this article is something that ought to allows to address the pedagogic implications in greater earnest.
