Pay Attention

This is a film made by educationalist Darren Draper to motivate teachers in their use of ICT. It puts into perspective the extent students are exposed to ICT and asks the question "are we meeting their ICT needs". Whilst Americanised and containing a few unrealistic views (I'm sure our parents won’t be too happy with us asking students to make international calls in class). It is highly relevant for a vast population of Rooty Hill High School (particularly prevalent in yrs 7-10) who use this technology daily. I would argue it is increasing relevant for the students whom have limited access to such ICT resources or skills, but will be require these skills when they enter the work force.
