Information and Communications Technologies and Teacher Education in Australia

Year: 2003
Type: article
Abstract: The professional development of beginning and experienced teachers has been widely recognised as a key component in the integration of information and communications technologies (ICT) into teaching and learning activities in Australian schools. Many initiatives have been taken, particularly since the mid-1990s, to assist beginning and experienced teachers to use ICT to increase learning opportunities, enhance learning activities, and improve learning outcomes for students. Some of the approaches taken to familiarise teachers about ICT are outlined here, using case studies of 'good practice' to illustrate key features. Other approaches focusing on learning with, rather than about new technology, are also noted
