Why? The facts..........
- The Australian Curriculum identifies ICT integration as a stand alone subject and as a cross-curricular priority. It is underpinned by the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (MCEEDYA, 2008), which emphasises the importance of knowledge, skills, and understandings to support 21st century learners.
- Prensky (2001), identifies these learners as digital natives because computer games, email, the internet, smartphones and text messaging are integral parts of their lives
- With the introduction of ICT as a key skill, the distinction between learning about ICTs and learning through ICTs will become blurred as students develop their ICT capability in contexts which are relevant to the skill area (Cloke & Sharif, 2001).
- Technology can support differentiated instruction, by providing opportunities for students to work in the mode that is most successful for them (e.g. alone, or collaborative, auditory, visual, practical or creative to demonstrate understanding (Wahl & Duffield, n.d.).
