Enabling Classroom eLearning

Shared Desktops• ICT augments core

curriculum in a

collaborative environment

From PC labs to classroom eLearning: 3 models

Computers on Wheels• Instantly creates a 1:1 learning environment in the classroom• ICT is completely integrated in the core curriculum

Shift learning about technology to learning with technology

1:1 Learning

•Personalised,

•Teacher as facilitator


1:1 eLearning: The Ideal Environment

Libraries Other SchoolsExperts Learning Resources

Online Resources and Communities

• Shift from instructor-centric to student-centric learning

• Laptops enable anywhere, anytime learning

• Access to a world of information

Change can be challenging….

But together we can overcome the obstacles.


Addressing Key Challenges

Let’s drill down into your key challenges


Challenge: Digital Curriculum

How do we find education curriculum that supports 1:1?

• Ideal models of how to use technology to enhance learning

• Teacher tools to comprehensively search, identify and catalogue effective learning materials

• eTextbooks and online reference materials

• Student tools to create and manage projects

Digital Learning Materials are needed for a successful 1:1.


Solution: Digital Curriculum

1.Recognise that digitalising a didactic approachto learning is not the answer

• Do not wait for etextbooks or wide availability of multiple choice tests

2.Consider computing as a tool for bringing aboutdesirable attributes of learning

• Independent, self-directed

• Higher-level critical thinking

• Problem solving

• Collaborative

3.Research options for these various areas of focus

Computers are a tool for transforming teaching; not a replacement for textbooks.
