Research

This project was investigating the use of ICTs in the middle years of school (Years 5 to 9). The project involved a partnership between Microsoft, NSW DET and ACER, and was overseen by Microsoft’s Partners in Learning NSW Advisory Board. The three-year project provided insights to support and enhance planned educational change in schools in order to improve student engagement, learning and achievement using ICTs. In early August, 3000 student and parent surveys and 500 teacher surveys were sent to the participating schools in NSW, and the results were analysed for presentation at a forum in late September.
