Schools, colleges, universities, are different. Not only from each other, but their responsibilities are different from those of any other group in society. ICT environments must foster learning and collaboration within careful boundaries, dealing with privacy, age-appropriate material, cyberbullying and responsible supervision. ICT directors have to provide a professional level of computer networking, sometimes with little more than the proverbial server in the staffroom to help them. Schools have always had to do the best they could with limited resources, and that pressure has only mounted with increasing technology demands.
