[|Youtube for ipad] Three years ago Orewa College was one of the few state schools who said to students you can bring a laptop to school, any laptop, and log into the school’s network, just as you would if you were staying in a hotel or visiting the many free wireless points in many cities. Three technologies had finally become available to Orewa College and the wider community: 1) High Speed Fibre Connection to the Internet (not at first but now) 2) Reliable High Speed Wireless technology covering the school site 3) Affordable, portable computing devices such as Netbooks and laptops, iPads (and the similar competitive pad devices) and the smaller devices such as I Touch and Smart phones. Yet students were not bringing them. Teachers were not changing their pedagogical approach. It was a chicken and egg situation.  When asked why not bring a machine to school? The students replied “why would we”. It is a hassle and the teachers are not doing anything different that would cause them too. The teachers responded to the question “why don’t you do more ICT based student centered lessons? The answer was “we can’t get access to the labs, there are not enough students with laptops to change what we are doing”.
