====Do children and young people, learners have any misconceptions about ICT in the same way as in Science e.g. the Sun disappears at night, rain comes from holes in the clouds. Are there hard to teach concepts or difficult ideas as in Maths and exterior angles or the size of fractions - which is bigger 1/3 or 1/6 ? Or is it the teachers/adults who have the misconceptions?====

I'm preparing pages for a group of BEd students next week to share and collate their thoughts about

 * learners misconceptions about technology
 * concepts, skills knowledge and understandings that are difficult for learners
 * how to approach these

They work with learners from 3-19, some with special needs.
====First thoughts may be that there are none, young learners are just natural learners about ICT and it uses. But is this so? if learners fail to grasp concepts is it then the 'teachers' fault. Please help us to get started by adding any suggestions from your experience, and solutions. Links to any reading would be helpful too.====
