The role of ICT in teaching, learning
and assessment
• The integration of ICT can support a range of teaching,
learning and assessment approaches that:
– enhance learning opportunities through access to a range of
resources, stimulus materials and learning tools
– provide increased opportunities for student engagement and motivation
– equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to use ICT to
support 21st-century learning
– support the development of effective student research and evaluation
skills
– promote critical and creative thinking skills
– increase opportunities to work collaboratively, locally, nationally and
globally.

Students use:
• Databases, CD-ROMS and the Internet to access
information
• Spreadsheets to assist with gathering, analysing and
presenting data
• Use ICT to enhance learning (and as a tool for learning),

The Teaching Teachers for the Future
Project
• ALTC, ACDE, ESA, AITSL in conjunction with
ACCE
• Project aims to enhance the quality of technology
integration for learning and teaching in Australian
Schools
• Project funded by the Australian Government
Department of Education, Employment and
Workplace Relations (DEEWR) through the ICT
Innovation Fund
• Project Dates: 1st Jan 2011- 31st May 2012
• Prepared by ALTC and ACDE
and all 39 tertiary institutions!
The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)
conceptual framework espoused by Mishra and Koehler (2006)
underpins much of the work in the project.
The TTF project comprises three components:
•
•
•
Component 1 – led by AITSL: build explicit ICTE dimensions to elaborate the
Graduate Teacher Standards of the National Professional Standards for Teachers
Component 2 – led by ESA: develop digital ICTE resources in the four
Australian curriculum Areas (English, Mathematics, History and Science)
Component 3 - led by ACDE and teacher education institutions: ICT Pedagogy
Officers will work with teacher educators and pre-service teachers to develop and
share exemplary ICTE curriculum and pedagogy.

The key to using technology:
Evolution to e-teaching
Start with an existing teaching method
Choose an idea to implement
Experiment with ideas (both planned and unplanned)
Share and reflect on experiences with others
Embed ideas within normal teaching methods

Self Directed Learning
• Khan Academy has
over 3000 video
tutorials.
• Since 2006 the Khan
Academy has had its
tutorials viewed over
187 million times.
Using videos for homework and conducting problem based
authentic learning tasks can increase student engagement and
promotes the use of ICT.

Assessment with ICT
• Within the timeframe of the unit different decisions
become relevant.
• Need to pay attention to these decisions.
