Digital education revolution NSW
program
• Commonwealth funded project: By 2012 every student in Years 9-12
will have a wirelessly-enabled laptop computer allowing personal,
portable and powerful learning experiences through the Digital
Education Revolution.
• All 2009 Year 9 students received a red laptop.
• All 2010 Year 9 students will receive a new model blue laptop
between March and the first weeks of Term 2.
• Teacher laptops are funded by NSW government. 50% of teachers
received a laptop in 2009.
• Laptops do not replace desktop computers.
• Technology support officer (TSO) at every site where there are 100+
students years 9-12. Smaller schools share a TSO.

Policy
• Developed by DET team including
Principals.
• Includes procedures for loss, damage, theft
and misuse of laptops.
• Laptops can be totally disabled if required
i.e. “turned into a brick”.

Why one-to-one computing?
• By using digital content and new technologies as part of
everyday teaching programs, teachers are able to alter
the status quo and dramatically improve the learning
environment.
• Seamless integration of computing allows students to
work authentically as in the workplace.
• Benefits are gained from the ability of students to work
collaboratively, not just in their own classroom.
• Digital resources when combined with other ‘hands-on’
tasks enabled the effective transfer of knowledge.

Listening to young people
Study conducted by Professor Susan Groundwater-Smith:
Supporting student learning environments in a digital age:
Listening to young people.
Two key concepts:
• Cognitive activity: where learner is actively engaged in
both the medium and the message of learning;
• Social interaction: allows for the development,
questioning and analysis of what is being learned through
social and machine mediated processes.
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
What type of user are you?
The study drew on the work of Green and Hannon (2006)
who identified four user types:
•Digital pioneers who were blogging before the phrase was
invented
•Creative producers who are building websites, posting
movies, photos and music to share with friends, families and
beyond
•Everyday communicators who are making their lives easier
through texting and MSN
•Information gatherers who are Google and Wikipedia
addicts, cutting and pasting as a way of life
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
DET study asked four questions:
• How is learning understood and constructed by
young people?
• What assists and gets in the way of learning?
• How do young people learn using digital
technologies in and out of school?
• What would young people desire in terms of
supporting and sustaining their learning using
digital technologies?
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
Findings
• Young people in the DET study understood learning to be a dynamic
process which best happens when they are substantively engaged, in
contrast to being procedurally engaged.
• Four main points assist learning: the way the environment is
organised; quality of the resources available; quality of the pedagogy;
and accessibility to the Internet.
• At home many students use digital technologies to learn by
experimenting, problem solving, modelling and communicating. This
takes time, time that is not always available at school.
• Young people saw themselves as information gatherers, but they
wanted the tools to be everyday communicators and creative
producers

Session 3
What does it look like in my subject?
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
How do I start?
• Recognise that the content (syllabus) you are
teaching is the same.
• Focus on the learning that matters.
• Take one unit and find one part that could be
taught more effectively using laptops.
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
Activity 3A
Purpose: Become familiar with resources developed to
support a Stage 5 elective Technology subject.
•Open the annotated units folder on the thumb drive and
review one of the annotated units: Textiles Technology,
Industrial Technology or Design and Technology.
Annotated unit

Activity 3A (continued)
• Open a subject folder relevant to your teaching and
review the materials provided. Note the range of
materials will increase over time.
• Report on one resource to your group.
Annotated unit
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
Activity 3B
Purpose: Identify opportunities to enhance a unit of work by using
the laptops.
• What is the learning that matters in a unit of work for Term 3 or 4?
• Review the electronic copy of the unit of work you brought with you.
• What aspects of the planned unit could be enhanced by using
laptops?
• Highlight these activities using the highlight tool in Word. Use the
Insert Shape menu to insert callouts (Line callout 2) in order to
annotate your work with ideas of how the laptops could enhance the
activity.
• What skills or resources do you need to allow these activities to
happen?
• What ICT skills will you need to teach explicitly? How do you know?

ICTs and assessment
The digital education revolution offers new and exciting
possibilities for effective feedback and quality assessment.
Research has shown the value of effective teacher
feedback in improving student learning outcomes.
Some examples of ICT based feedback applications are
listed on the following slide.
See Assessment documents on thumb drive.
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
Application
Microsoft Word, Excel and
OneNote.
Sample
Feedback possibilities
Use the ‘Track Changes’ function and /or ‘Add Comment’ to
provide feedback and comments on work at different points
in the teaching and learning cycle. Voice comments can also
be added.
Adobe Captivate 4 allows for
generation of multiple e-learning
content including interactivity
with work submitted by students.
Captivate 4 allows teachers to comment directly on student
work using the keyboard or drawing tool, and film it with a
voice commentary as a Flash movie.
Adobe Acrobat Professional allows
for the generation of student work
either individually or as groups as
PDF files.
Teachers can use the commenting and text editing tools to
provide feedback.
Peer assessment of work.
Archive PDF files for consistent teacher judgement and work
samples for students.
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
Application
Adobe Photoshop Elements,
Premiere Elements and Flash CS4
allow for generation of photos,
still images, animations and
movies.
Feedback possibilities
Students can film or photograph their own process, task or
performance for feedback from teachers or peers.
Development of E-portfolios both Allows for aggregation of digital artefacts by students in
as product and process to
relation to a task ( web links, video clips, podcasts, written
document student learning
responses)
journeys.
Creation of Wikis and Blogs
The generation of a Wiki or Blog allows for both reflection
and commentary by peers on work and issues arising.
Students can post queries, teachers can both monitor and
provide ongoing feedback. Good for students reluctant to
engage in classroom discussion.
Email
Students can communicate with teachers about their work.
Email is a private space and well suited to support students
who are less inclined to share their work or ask for
assistance.
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
Early days
• Establish roles and expectations.
• Non verbal communication is even more important (established,
practised and consistent).
• Make the first lesson fun and relevant to your subject.
• Assess prior learning of ICT skills. Differentiate where appropriate.
• Explicitly teach ICT skills where required.
• Plan and prepare engaging lessons. A laptop does not make learning
automatically engaging.
• Provide explicit quality criteria.
• Develop student- direction by allowing students to support
themselves through simple self-support guides accessed from the
device (how to use webcam, etc) and peer tutoring.
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
• Troubleshoot: things go wrong, it’s just another classroom problem
solving exercise.
• 1:1 laptop learning does not require students to spend the rest of
their learning lives staring at a 10.2” screen. Non laptop activities are
essential for diverse learning experiences.
• 1:1 laptop does not mean the students need to be 1:1 all the time.
Group collaboration through a single device is a really powerful
reflective experience (think, pair, record, share?).

Developing skills in new software:
OneNote
© Commonwealth of Australia 2009
OneNote is like an electronic
notebook
• Reduces scrolling required on the laptop
• Allows notes to be typed anywhere and
moved easily
• References anything that is pasted in
• Allows tagging of notes for easier
searching

instead of 30.
– Therefore you can read more content from more sources
• Use PageFlakes or Google Reader
• Reading and sharing>tagging
RSS feeds in the classroom
• Students create RSS feeds in blog, teacher subscribes and
receives updates when they have done something.
