Australian Teachers "Tops" at Intergrating Technology

This article was extremely informative, I was unaware that students who are exposed to ICT in their learning and who are established computer users perform better than those who are limited computer users. Thus from this statement it's imperative that technology is utilised, however it needs to be used in an appropriate format - teachers can not simply use technology as a way of ticking the box. That is using a power point presentation to convey the lesson content is not teaching, it is mearley ticking the box in accordance with the NSW Board of Studies.

Teachers need to utilise technology to engage the students. Like those teachers who won the Australia's Innovative Teachers Awards, where they used technology to engage students who had previously had little interest in the subject content and in learning. It is these teachers who are making use of the changing nature of technology to open the minds on adolescents to ensure that they're learning within the classroom and engaging within the activities. What a great article and an inspiration for me as a newly qualified teacher!
