The Australian Government is implementing a “digital education revolution” to improve Australia’s education and training standards.  The aim of the program is to better educate students in preparation for further education and work in a digital world. After all isn’t that what teacher’s aim to do? To teach our students valuable skills to help them succeed in life.

The Australian Government is providing new funding of $1.2 billion over five years to provide schools with new or upgraded information and communication technology, online curriculum tools and resources plus so  much more. I think that this strategy will improve the use of technology in classrooms as teacher’s won’t see it as a hassle or a waste of money as they will be provided with it and therefore will be more obliged to use it in their teaching. One major reason for not implementing technology into the classroom is not a fear of failure but insufficient funds to buy software that will enhance learning. By the Government providing new technology to classrooms teacher’s and students will have access to the latest technologies at the tip of their fingers.
