I agree with Marc Prensky that a divide between digital immigrants and digital natives is a real issue in schools. However, more and more ICT is being incorporated into the school environment and "digital immigrants" are learning and engaging with such strategies successfully. Perhaps the issue is not a case of whether ICT should become a greater part in the education system but rather, how can we get it there faster! of course part of the problem is funding, since not every school has the resources to provide computers for each student. On the whole though, i believe that the will is there from the majority of teachers in the profession, be from computer literate or illiterate individuals.

I think so too.
Proper in-service training is what we need. But it is expensive, which is exactly why we have not done it.
