What do I learn from this lecture 2?

The short movie gives me great insights into the teaching of Language using Technology. In the reading class, a student reads an article with the teacher assisting or giving some interviewing questions. Meanwhile another student video-tape the whole process. This is a very interesting and captivating way of learning as the students are motivated to learn and learning becomes a fun process. But my questions are: are the technologies readily available to teachers and students and with the limited time and resources that the teachers have, and with little support from the IT department (as many of these lessons need to be prepared by the teachers themselves) can these technologies work across all subjects and curriculum? for any ICT programme to be infiltrated into the schools and classrooms, it must be a concerted effort from the top management to want to do this; not just for the sake of staying updated with the technology but having the goals to succeed.
