Removal of discrete ICT lesson at sons First school – I hate this but I suppose it links to the idea that IT is in everything we do – a medium or transliteracy (Kress 2005 Thomas et al 2007) The method of access to information to create knowledge

“technology is not a ‘tool’ – it actually drives change and creates society”

I believe this is the truth However, as Thomas et al 2007 discussed, any new initiative drives and creates change in society. The example used was using communication to change from hunting solo to hunting in groups, enabled change because there was left over food for sale or swap.

Technology is a medium for communication and it is the collaboration associated with greater access to communication that is creating the change?
