to a situation where technology and education coexist" (Dagdilelis, Satratzemi and Evangelidis, 2000). Along these lines, Maurer cautioned "No matter what technology is used, insights obtained from traditional courseware design
both from a pedagogical and content/form point of view must not be ignored" (Maurer, 1997, p. 8). In other words, dont forget the human element. Technology is a tool, sophisticated
though it may be, it cannot really take the place of a thinking person and it certainly cannot take the place of interaction between instructor and student. This applies to
teaching programming languages as well as to teaching mathematics or anything else. To use information communication technology to teach anything, it is first necessary to possess a degree of
ICT literacy. Information and communications technology has been advancing and evolving so quickly for so many years, it becomes difficult to determine what constitutes ICT literacy (Curtin University, 2003). It
may help to know that ICT literacy is the successor to the term computer literacy and it include a variety of networking and communications technology, such as the World Wide
Web, e-mail and video conferencing (Curtin University, 2003). The term can and should be broken into segments. For instance, there is information literacy that is comprised of "locating, analysing,
and synthesising information from multiple sources" (Curtin University, 2003). Second, there is computer literacy that is defined as "an understanding of computer characteristics, capabilities and applications, as well as
an ability to implement this knowledge in the skilful and productive use of computer applications suitable to the individual roles in society" (Curtin University, 2003). Computer literacy is not a
