Recently started working with NSW DET Connected Classrooms Program with a visit to one of the schools consequently equipped with the suite of interactive whiteboards & video conference equipment. Sitting in a classroom built in the 1800’s now with state of the art online gear- the divide btween the two centuries clearly laid bare- and hopefully with it C18 teaching practice.  With now over 200 Video conference facilities installed across NSW – (ncl. my old country school at Inverell)- there was a genuine sense of celebration among educationalists and equipment vendors in the room. Backed by a largescale map of NSW – it was the perfect backdrop for an impromptu celebration. Knowing what is underpinning the hardware- access to great resources- and what is to come in the program- (learning tools )-  the time has arrived where State Education in NSW will truly embrace a genuine digital revolution- based not on tech driven silver bullets but real  commitment to appropriate pedagogical practice associated with the initiatives.
