Every time some makes use of the content on your site, they can simply hit a &quot;thanks&quot; button and the resultant number would indicate the level of helpfulness of the site. Perhaps this is already being done and I&#39;m just not seeing it?]]></description></item><item><title>Terry Freedman, Educational ICT Consultant comments on Should websites have tip jars?</title><author>Terry Freedman, Educational ICT Consultant</author><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 10:02:51 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2013/5/16/should-websites-have-tip-jars.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">443521:4950214:comment/20021654</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks very much, Pete.

I agree with all you say. I don&#39;t know enough about the IB to pass an opinion, but it sounds like you could be right.

ICT is often sidelined as a subject and taught by non-ICT trained teachers, many of whom teach as &#39;facilitators&#39; I think teachers of other subject areas should strive to be ICT facilitators in their own subject area, implementing technology tools when they are benifical, but if an ICT teacher likes to class themselves as one of the titles above, well, they are not really an ICT teacher are they? What knowledge are they imparting onto the students? The adoption of some of these titles and what they actually mean (ie not a lot) has been quite well defined here.<br/><br/>From my experience, even those who should be classed as an individual with the role of a facilitator in a school (albeit more for staff than students such as a Technology Director or ICT Coordinator), seems to think that new staff will implement new hardware and software into their teaching without any training or guidance.<br/><br/>Then again, my experience could be bias just because of some of the teachers &amp; managers i have met, from a head of IT who introduced himself by saying,&quot;I don&#39;t know anything about IT, I&#39;m just an IT Teacher&quot; to a Tech Director who though AJAX was for cleaning the bathroom.<br/><br/>I will say, however, again only from my own experience, these titles and practices seem to be far less the case with MYP Technology teachers of the IB curriculum than those who follow the UK and US syllabus overseas. It could possibly be something to do with the wider scope and diversity of &#39;technlolgy&#39; as a subject in IB, I dont know.]]></description></item><item><title>Terry Freedman, Educational ICT Consultant comments on We need ICT teachers, not facilitators</title><author>Terry Freedman, Educational ICT Consultant</author><pubDate>Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:30:54 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2013/4/17/we-need-ict-teachers-not-facilitators.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">443521:4950214:comment/19970309</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks, Nancy.]]></description></item><item><title>Nancy White comments on We need ICT teachers, not facilitators</title><author>Nancy White</author><pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 02:15:19 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.ictineducation.org/home-page/2013/4/17/we-need-ict-teachers-not-facilitators.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">443521:4950214:comment/19948209</guid><description><![CDATA[Exactly!

Yes you&#39;re right: I hadn&#39;t actually thought of that. I think it&#39;s exemplified by the fact that individuals can beat companies, which is encouraging I think.
