The Digital Revolution has passed but have we really delivered on the required change needed to make education relevant in the 21st Century? This presentation will forward the idea that as educators and leaders we need to focus on the 'Communication' part of ICTs to prevent techno-fetishism and become aware of the structures that constrain change. The theoretical approach of seeking, defining and bringing to awareness the incomensurabilties of existing 'ways of doing' ICTs in secondary education will be discussed as a means to target what is to be changed. The use of online social networks will also be forwarded as a key tool to create gravitas for change and the communicative modality of choice for observing the ongoing sense of crisis being experienced within education in other parts of the world.
