Who Do I Think I Am Now?

I still think of myself as only an adequate user of information technology. I now consider it an imperative for me, in my future role as a teacher, to become better prepared to actively inform my teaching pedagogy to be built in a way that is more focused on the available technologies of the day. With current technology development appearing to lean more and more towards tablet computers and application development, I think that it is imperative for me to approach teaching differently to what I have observed. This will be a great challenge as my experience in placements and research highlight the challenges faced by teachers who have the best of intentions of including technology in learning and teaching scenarios.

I have become aware of the challenges facing teachers in adapting to the changing face of the world and the pressure to develop teaching approaches which address the issue highlighted in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) General Capability in the Australian Curriculum:To participate in a knowledge-based economy and to be empowered within a technologically sophisticated society now and into the future, students need the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make ICT work for them at school, at home, at work and in their communities.
