As debate continues in politics about Australia’s EDUCATION REVOLUTION I fear that sane teaching practice will be pushed to the side and rather technology will be key. I fear that because the technology is expensive and will have been put into the classrooms the politics of the situation will take control and teachers will be using technology just for the sake of it.
In an article by Jamie McKenzie they spoke about good teaching practice choosing the learning outcomes first and which tools would BEST support these outcomes. If a technology is appropriate then by all means use it.
Technology may not always be the most appropriate method but I fear that with the introduction of computers to all school students the technology will become the priority and then teachers must work out how to make the learning fit the technology.
