In a blog post chairman of the Danish ICT advisors, John Klesner, takes a critical stance towards the politics of our current government. The government’s ambitions and the consequences of their suggested investments in ICT for schools he claims will mainly lead to learning scenarios where mechanistic training and conditional learning is at the forefront. His main question is: Is it realistic to educate the young generation to solve problems of the future using learning techniques of the past? Read his full comment here (in Danish). You might also visit this page from the association of ICT advisors with resources and suggestions for use of ICT in schools which support a collaborative, constructive learning approach (also in Danish).
