<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Here are some of the issues;</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">1. I am told Independent and Catholic schools as a system ( for various reasons ) don't use the epotential continuum by choice. If roughly a third of Victorian schools ( is that
about the proportion ? ) don't use this tool what does it say about standards across the state or agreement about what anything means ?
<br>
2. Speaking over the water cooler with state school counterparts I hear a number of state schools don't use the epotential continuum for various reasons such as:<br>
a) the continuum does not relate to what happens in their schools<br>
b) the continuum and the samples of work on the epotential site do not adequately address secondary levels of ICT use or worse almost totally have an absence of any VCE application.<br>
c) Noone has seen what the transformative level looks like. Therefore, how can one know if it has been achieved ?<br>
d) A lack of agreement between some samples of work and where it fits in a continuum.<br>
e) Concerns regarding just what embedding elearning means. Complaints that simply digitization of information is seen as elearning by some without the connections with higher order critical thinking, analysis, hypothesis testing and more. Is
the technology being used to improve learning, application or just occupy the students eg. Does animating a character add anything different to a student's understanding or just give them a visual or audio representation of what is already on paper ? Does
drawing a mind map diagram of what is already in written form add anything to their understanding or knowledge ?</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">1. Could I get some feedback on whether any schools are using the epotential continuum as the scaffold upon which to build embedding of the elearning in the
curriculum ? If schools have chosen to not go with the epotential continuum can I please ask their reasons ?</span></font></p>
