19. Teacher’s focus on product or process What is the most significant facet of using ICT?

20. Product vs Process Teacher librarian: What I was saying before about perfection is that one of these issues with everything and this ICT is that I'd rather that kids get in there and had a go rather than believe we can get perfection. Who are we to tell them how to do it. We are not movie producers or graphic artist. We’ve got to stop telling them there are right ways of doing things and I wonder whether we’ve quite got that in the culture yet. That's one of the PD problems. That people are hung up on the fact that the year 3 website might not be a good website. Well I don't think it really matters. I mean we'll do a crummy one this year and a better one next year. And so on I don't think we have to be perfect.
