ICT lessons boring? Couldn't agree more!

Information technology lessons in UK schools are so dull they are putting pupils off the subject and careers in computing, the Royal Society warns. The organisation said the situation would lead to an unskilled workforce and threaten the UK's economy.

I couldn't agree more, no students wants to spend their life filling in multiple choice questions about what they already know. I'm certain that as we change to the real life scenarios in Functional Skills, this will change, but unitl then .........
