The Medium And The Message
نویسنده
چکیده
Teachers of primary students aged 5 – 12 years in government schools in New South Wales, Australia, are implementing curriculum planning and assessment frameworks which provide a model for the integration of the six subjects taught to primary students into one manageable teaching program. This paper discusses how 120 schools, supported by Australian Federal Government funding, are trialling the program, providing valuable feedback for their peers, developing deeper understanding of the curriculum, sharing their knowledge and gaining greater confidence in the consistency of their teacher judgement. They are achieving much of this through their participation in an online community of learners. This online community is supported through a variety of ICT tools such as the Internet, videoconferencing and online meeting software. The teachers are gaining skills and expertise not only in curriculum and content but also in the use of interactive technologies which will provide a positive collaborative learning experience for them and their peers no matter where they are located.
