There are a number of parallels between the field of ICT in education research and
the field of ICT in music education research. The first is that there has been a stream
of focus that deals with tools and usage; what equipment is being used, how many schools/children are using it and attempted connections between technology and
learning outcomes. Within this stream are many large projects and government reports
into areas such as teacher attainment [19], pupil learning and attainment [20],
student ICT literacy [21] school use [22] and, amongst other things, the impact of ICT
on students [23].
