"If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance."

Whenever I hear the words "intuitive" and "ICT" in the same sentence, the pit in the bottom of my stomach plummets to new depths. Digital technology does not come easily to all, particularly us "non-digital natives." However, as a teacher it can only be to the good to remember how it feels to struggle, be frustrated, to feel utterly stupid and to want to give up the ghost. There may well be a child sitting at the back of my classroom tomorrow feeling exactly the same way.

Welcome to my ongoing endeavours to drag myself kicking and screaming into the 21st Century; to cast aside the dry chrysalis of ignorance, to discard the pupal skin of fear and emerge shimmering and resplendent into the golden shards of digital daylight!

Well, that's the general idea....
