BECTA exec admits mistakes on education IT: "At the BETT trade show earlier this month, Becta director of educational content Dave Hassell conceded that the education IT quango has been guilty of poor deployments. "What we've done in the past is keep throwing IT at people. It's become a burden for some," he said.

The comments came soon after Becta's chairman Andrew Pinder said teachers are unable to keep up with the pace of Westminster-driven IT rollout in schools."

I talk to Heads and teachers who are extremely non-geek. Yet most of the VLE projects BECTA have allowed to be rolled out are for extreme geeks. Silly. When, if they'd have promoted Moodle, many of the courses could have been rolled out nationally, with very little for the non-geeks to need to do. And there's the open education initiative. If a geeky teacher in California could collaborate with a non-geeky teacher in Manchester...

One world, instead BECTA have created islands and confusion.
