=EDUC 596 Special Topic in Education=

//Alternatives for ICT Professional Development of Secondary Teachers//
//2,500 word referenced assay due 5th May//. This is a literature review report of the above topic.

Due to a number of factors in NSW such as the introduction of the Computing Skills Test in Year 10, the continuing roll-out of computers and Web Services in DET schools, and teacher accreditation, the need for teacher proficiency with computers and ICT is a ‘top-of-mind’ topic in many schools in the state. This literature review will canvass alternatives for the ICT Professional Development (PD) for Secondary Teachers from a variety of perspectives including teachers, employers and academics.

Based on prior research it is anticipated the literature review report will address the following questions:

[|Which teachers] are in greatest need of ICT PD?

What is the best form of ICT PD for teachers?

Where and when should ICT PD be delivered?

Who is responsible for the ICT PD of teachers?

What is the significance of learning domains for ICT PD?

Other interesting comments (and some more questions)
