"The government has signalled its ambition of realising the untapped potential of technology across the education ecosystem," writes Martin Hamilton. "We fully support those aims." He's referring to a column by UK secretary of state for education Damian Hinds (which, stupidly, is behind a paywall). " Students "are able to explore the rainforest, steer virtual ships or programme robots" from their classroom, Hinds notes. Meanwhile, teachers are able to access training, share best practice with colleagues and update parents on a pupil's progress whilst keeping their main focus on teaching." This article outlines how JISC supports that vision.
