ICT is more application based. i.e. Powerpoint, Excel, Access where are CS is more about the 'science' so how theory of Computers etc.
The main problem is one of qualified teachers. In the UK a lot of ICT teachers do not have a CS based degree, not a problem when you teaching MS Access a problem when you want to teach about ROM's RAM, CPU's etc. As a thought because of the more theoretical nature of CS though you probably can teach more offline, than ICT. Also and I have to agree with this CS is more exciting than ICT, as you learn how and why computers work, not just click next, so kids end up more engaged and likely to have a CS based career. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14683133 http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/dec/06/michael-gove-computer-science _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
