ICT = the technology
eLearning = the use of technology to enhance learning.
Purpose ...
To begin giving you the tools and resources as a School Leader to create an effective ICT Infrastructure which will allow eLearning to happen in your school.
All good products have a free trial or free version.  If it doesn't, don't buy it.
Never purchase anything you do not know how to use.
Never purchase second hand computers or equipment.
Safety through EDUCATION comes first ... blocking is not safety.
It's Just Like Learning to
Drive a Car ...
What do your staff and students know?
... scary (more for your parents) at first but once you 
understand the dangers, you can do it everyday 
without even thinking about it.
What do they do when an inappropriate site comes up?
Do they share their passwords?  
Do they constantly lose their passwords?
Are they aware of their Digital Footprint?
Do they know how to seperate their identities?
Do you have clear policies, procedures, rules, and guidelines?
Do you explicitly teach internet safety?
