Learn with Technology

A programme based on how students learn through quality teaching and learning experiences that are enhanced by technology.

One of the largest factors on a student’s learning is the teacher (Hattie, 2009). On that claim, Steve Dinham goes on to classify that; the better the teacher, the better the learning. Therefore, it is in a school’s best interest to engage with a teacher’s learning and engage in a Professional Learning Community. A quality teacher is the ‘great equaliser’ in a classroom and teacher development will help fulfil the goal to make “Best practice, common practice” (Dinham, 2016).
We have a four day series commencing in Term 2 that will focus on the research supporting the science of learning and how we can use technology to further enhance the impact of our teaching and student learning. The days will integrate the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) as a point of reference to support and guide the use of technology. Resources created will be shared within the schools attending and as CEWA exemplars to guide others through the TIM levels. The programme will focus on what technology looks like for the students and will be aimed at teachers who want to increase their students’ capacity to learn with technology.
