The chatting channels are consequently a new and exciting meeting place. Girls also like to use ICT to communicate on equal terms, and also to build up a network. ICT makes the work more varied and realistic, this is especially motivating for girls. ICT therefore meets the needs of girls, while at the same time challenging the school authorities and education institutions to consider the learning process in a different light. Increased use of ICT challenges us to discuss the existing authority structures and the pupil-teacher roles in school.
Computers can never replace teachers.
On the other hand, the teacher will advance from being the all-knowing and the pivot in teaching, to becoming to a much greater degree an adviser, coordinator and supervisor in the individual and independent learning process of the student. We must all meet the inquisitiveness of children and young people who wish to learn more about ICT with openness, knowledge and the ability to guide them into making their own choice. Pupils must be researchers in their own learning process. Technology in itself is not important. On the contrary, it is the possibilities that ICT provides as a tool for interaction and the learning situation that is important.
