Re: Petition for Free WiFi access

Not going to sign. Free access on my DS anyway .

On the other topic of IT in schools I feel it's the same problem as in other subjects that there is too much focus on M$ in IT and using M$ products rather on using a WP (any WP) or spreadsheet/DT/OS etc. In general the principles are the same and the overall rules for the end product are the same.

In other subjects teach how to do the subject not just rote learn the content of the subject. That way pupils learn how to do for themselves even if what's presented is slightly different. My pet hate is calculators. We were not allowed to use them until 'A' level, it was paper/log tables/slide rule and all of these also teach how the maths works rather than just pressing buttons. (And no it wasn't all that long ago).
