This discussion
paper has outlined the Information Technology context surrounding
Australian teachers. It has examined this from a personal
perspective and from a social and economic perspective at local
(national) and global levels. This context needs to be taken into
account when debating the issues raised in the companion document Part
B: ACCE position paper. That document makes a summative
comparison between existing teacher IT competency frameworks such as
those developed by some education systems within Australia and
beyond. It raises a number of issues on which ACCE has developed
draft positions and recommendations. This discussion paper will
provide the background context for informed debate on the draft
position paper. The final outcome and ongoing evolution of the
issues raised will contribute to the Australian education sector
playing a strong role in Australia's future.
