ICTs increased diversity in the classroom

Many commentaries in recent years have promoted one label for our contemporary learners. This perspective suggested that ICTs increased the similarity of all learners, promoting a one-size-fits all label, that is, all children have access to ICTs, love using ICTs and are fluent in a wide range of uses of ICTs for a wide range of purposes. This paper investigates this perspective and provides data from a study in provincial Queensland. In doing so, teachers are asked to think about the diversity of learners in their classrooms and the role of ICTs in increasing that diversity.
