April 2002
This report provides evidence of the level of investment in ICT in
primary and secondary schools in a range of countries around the
world. The indicators of investment used include: the amount of
money spent; the student to computer ratio; and the percentage
of schools connected to the Internet. The main focus of the report is on England and the USA. For each
of these countries data from a number of separate sources are
compared. The report concludes that there has been a substantial level of
investment in ICT in English schools over at least the last 20
years. This reflects the pattern in the USA and other ‘developed’
countries.

T N Gallacher HM Senior Chief Inspector of Schools 1992. This Appendix traces the development of computing in Scottish secondary schools from 1969 to 1992. While it identifies specific national initiatives, these depended for their success on a wide variety of activities undertaken throughout this time by education authorities, schools, teacher training institutions and, particularly, by a large number of individuals whose contributions should not be underestimated.

A study into the experiences of teacher educators who have engaged with developing the use of ICT in school and teacher education. The aim was to give voice to the achievements and concerns of these teacher educators during the short history of ICT in school. In so doing the project aimed to: draw attention to initiatives which have been more successful than others and highlight the factors leading to their success, highlight particular difficulties associated with developing ICT, report on the factors which have provoked and sustained engagement with the development of ICT, examine the role of ITTE and other professional groups in supporting innovation with ICT, compare and contrast the present with the past ‘landscape’ regarding the use of ICT.

David Riley 2007. This article identifies three uses of educational technology and evaluates their potential to change curricula and pedagogic strategies. The article is in four parts, with the first outlining a temporal model of change and discussing educators’ expectations of continuities and discontinuities in practice. In order to distinguish minor modifications from culturally significant changes in practice, the second part recaps a variant of Merlin Donald’s cognitive-cultural theory of human evolution. The third part adopts this theoretical perspective and classifies uses of multimedia-hypertext systems, generic software, and computer modelling software, as instances of functional substitution, delegation and innovation. The fourth and final part of the article evaluates the change potential of these types of use, with substitution sustaining existing teaching strategies and curricula, with delegation modifying practice, and with innovation prompting culturally significant change. The article concludes by suggesting that functional substitution and delegation dominate present-day uses of technology and that functional innovation will continue to present both challenges and opportunities to future generations of educators.

Peter Goodyear 1998. This paper argues for a re-examination of our established ways of trying to understand ICT-based innovation in higher education. It suggests that a project-centered, rather than an environment-centered, approach to understanding innovative developments has obscured some key elements of what has been happening in higher education practice in recent years.
