Australian Educational Technologies Trends

Abstract

<p>The Australian Educational Technologies Trends (AETT) report provides an overview to assist teachers, school leaders, academics and industry, in understanding and planning for the use of digital technologies in Australian schools over the next five years - 2019 to 2023. </p> <p>The report explores four research categories: 1. Educational technologies that will be used; 2. Challenges schools will face; 3. Trends that will have the most impact; and 4. Approaches schools will take to computer education. The report presents an overall consensus in each research category, and the views of particular contexts: subgroups such as parents, school leaders, teachers, students, etc. whose perspective often varies from the overall consensus. Cost-benefit and professional learning priorities are also identified.</p> <p>The AETT report has been a collaborative effort from 118 of Australia’s leading educational technologies teachers, academics and industry leaders, invited to provide guidance on the trends occurring in the use of digital technologies in Australian primary and secondary schools. The AETT report was supported by the Australian Council for Computers in Education (ACCE), the CSIRO through the Digital Careers Australia program, and Griffith University.</p>
