Stage 1 Alternatives

The first stage in the AETT process is to identify participants and gain a consensus on four areas:

Which technologies related to the teaching Digital Technologies (F-10) and Senior CS Curriculum should we include?
Which Educational Technologies related to the diffusion of ICT General capabilities (students), instructional (teachers), and organisational (school) Technologies should we include?
Which trends related to Educational Technologies should be included? and
Which challenges related to Educational Technologies should be included?

Participants suggest additional items not previously included at this stage.

This first stage must be completed by the 6th of April, 2018.

Stage 1 of the AETT project has concluded for 2018

Open/expand form

The inaugural Australian Educational Technologies Trends (AETT) report for 2018 has a strong team of 114 educators, 100 Australian and 14 international, contributing to the project.

The AETT is building upon the traditions established in the New Media Consortium Horizon Reports to explore technologies, trends and challenges, with the inclusion of curriculum, and a broader reporting on all possibilities instead of just the top 6.

The report will not be a preferred futures thinking exercise on what we would like to see, but what we do see occurring now, and reasonably believe will be occurring in 5 years. This is difficult as we all have our preferences and advocacy, but participants try to be as objective as they can.

Participants will however be providing examples and exemplars that will highlight best practices in the many topics explored, and these will naturally advocate for different approaches, and the nature of the report is that it will presage what is possible, but the survey itself is on the trends occurring in Australian schools and how these are changing, not necessarily what Educational Technology and school/pedagogy reform advocates would like to see occurring.

2018 Participants

The project has participants from all Australian States and Territories (except the Northern Territory). Queensland participation is particularly high with the project lead being based and having a greater range of contacts in this state, but this should become more balanced in future iterations.

The project has a good age representation of participants considering the targeting of experienced participants with expertise in Educational Technologies.
