classroom and make the following sets of observations
- Class discussion about uses of computers
- Interviews with eight student 'subjects' for more
detailed insight into their use of computers, their thoughts about ICT,
where they learn about ICT...
- Monitoring computer use in the classroom is monitored on
an on-going basis
- Observations of students undertaking ICT based
tasks as part of the normal class program (as they occur - no special
arrangements required)
- Interactions involving students as a normal
part of the class program
- Interactions involving the Teacher as a
normal part of the class program
- Interviews with
- Teacher

- The Teacher's position on outside use of
computers by students

classroom (ACOT)
