TeachIT: Act now for teacher ICT learning
// The gap between teacher capability and student potential in the digital age is an issue, reflected in terms such as digital natives being taught by digital immigrants. Efforts to date have been disappointing and gaps are widening. If student learning potential is to be realized then new ways of supporting teachers to attain the skills necessary to add educational value through computer use needs to be established as an embedded part of each school. This paper examines one model, teachIT, which provides a teacher learning approach that engages, supports and adds value to use of digital technologies by all teachers. Modules provide engaging pre-tests, supportive materials, examples of subject use, the building of knowledge banks, and the sharing, celebration and recognition of teacher and student work. The approach used in one school is used to highlight the potential of teachIT and issues arising. The potential of teachIT to support those advocating integration of new technologies such as Web 2 on a continuing basis is also explored.
