I like it. I think Alan November gets it absolutely right when he talks about that cultural shift. It is explicit in Curriculum for Excellence so we have the 'mandate' for change. I also agree that it's not really about the technology, but on the other hand if teachers and kids don't have hardware, don't have internet access, and don't have leaders who are able to make it happen for them, it remains very difficult. It will be down to people like yourself to keep the pressure on. Keep speaking out. Dave,
