ICT can be frustrating

The lessons that I learnt from yesterday's failure to retrieve a wiki post lead me to consider the ramifications such mistakes could have for students. Given that students would usually be using their own computers or expecting to duplicate their data on a USB, such mistakes may not frequently arise, however such experiences do lend themselves to us for consideration of the negative impacts technology can have on students. If we are to involve the use of such tools as blogs, wikis and dropbox, it would be reasonable to provide short course IT updates for those who need them. Other wise you may definitely place some students at a disadvantage.
