This paper considers the relationship between each of these perspectives: as a tool, as learning support and as revolutionary agent, and the relationship of each to assessment. It proposes that ultimately what determines the role ICT plays in school-based learning depends on the value attributed to learning outcomes. While national assessments continue to reward specified content knowledge above knowledge building abilities, the use of ICT will continue to cause tensions in the classroom. Accepted 14 May 2001 |
