During 2011-2 AAMT worked with Education Services Australia and other organisations to develop materials designed to assist teachers to make better and more purposeful use of ICTs in their teaching of mathematics – ICT in Everyday Learning: A Toolkit for Teachers. The website containing ICT Toolkit is now available.
ICT in Everyday Learning: A Toolkit for Teachers
The ICT Toolkit for Teachers is an important resource for teachers wishing to learn more about how to integrate technologies into their teaching. It provides a starting point for these teachers to embed technology in all aspects of their teaching and to support students to be creative, productive users of technology in this digital age.
Drawing directly on the Australian Curriculum, the Toolkit provides teachers of Mathematics (and and their Science, English and History colleagues), with suggested activities, teaching and learning sequences and assessment tasks that embed a range of technological tools and devices.
Designed for teachers who identify themselves as low to medium users of technologies in their teaching, the Toolkit presents contemporary teaching approaches that support connected, collaborative and cooperative student-centred learning.
Additional supportive features of the Toolkit include: easy to follow explanations of tools and devices grouped according to their educative purpose (Digital storytelling tools; Organising tools; Presentation devices etc.); tutorials on how to use the tools and devices and a professional learning module directed towards school leaders.
