Abstract
It is now common for relevant authorities to insist that all newly qualified teachers are able to use a range of ICT applications for teaching and administration (DfEE, 1998; NCATE, 2001; SCTP, 1999). The Australian government has published several papers containing plans and strategies for bringing schools and teachers into the information age (DEST, 2002; DETYA, 2000). The latter, under the title “Learning in an online world” includes:
-
Introduce strategic initiatives into teacher pre-service education to improve the ICT competence of commencing teachers.
-
Develop teacher competency standards in using ICT in curriculum practice and incorporate teacher ICT standards into human resource management within education authorities and individual schools, including recruitment and promotion practices. (DETYA, 2000, p. 52).
