“Our focus as teachers should always be on the learning, not on the technology. If you find that technology is driving the learning, instead of the other way around, then it’s time to rethink your approach. Technology integration and implementation should always be authentic and purposeful. We pick up a pencil when it’s the best tool for the job, and technology should be the same—it’s about making decisions about the purpose and potential to support and extend learning.Although we are fortunate to be able to resource new technologies at our school, it’s worth remembering that a lot of technology literacy and learning happens without the use of digital tools. For example, students are engaging with computational thinking every day when they create and follow steps, processes and routines to bring projects together.Technology tools are changing all the time – don’t be afraid to try something new! If I’m not sure how something works, I give it to my students to play with and ask them to tell me what they can do with it. I learn from observing and listening, and get my ideas from their inquiries. Trust your students as capable agents of their own learning.”-Eleni Kyritsis year 3 teacher
