Information and communication technologies are changing much of what happens in our schools. We are witnessing a paradigm change in our schools from teacher centred to learner focused ( Morel, R., Domenjoz, J-C., Lachat, C and Rossi, C 2003) so that teachers are no longer the sages but the guides(Anderson., J).

It would be possible to do all manner of study from the home computer linked to the outside world via the internet. The reality of this is shown through our on-line course we are participating in here and it is a bold, inspiring and realistic vision of what mainstream education could be like ten or twenty years from now. It is a matter though of the level of education that is the focus. For example, although there might be in the future a virtual classroom it could not be expected that kindergarten children would receive all of the social and communication skills necessary to deal effectively with other people throughout the course of their lives without the very real social intercourse that the classroom environment gives.
