I've been doing STEM and robotics for 10 years. I wanted to better explore simple but effective class activities. We develop robotc projects in class and for RoboCup and FLL competitions. I am on State and National bodies for the former. I use BlackBoard extensively in class and teach fellow staff members how to get students to interact with it.

I'm keen to dive in but I don't know how hard the impact of the water will be on me or others. I have been timetabled with 6 specialty high school subjects at the moment. Like all of us, when I know what to teach, I will. The hesitation to teach digitech has held back our country and I'm glad that we are all being corralled into applying ourselves to something new. Teacher values in schools are marred by being the leader of a class, particularly when some students have galloped ahead in their pursuit of learning. I see some issues in letting go of the leader-follower attitude and instead corralling these young minds into implementing fresh ideas. I look forward to the potential problem solving collaborations between teachers and students, a like that we've only glanced. Hello!

I am a Teacher-librarian at a large regional school on the Darling Downs. I have embraced technology as it has come along in my life. While I have asked, demanded and cajoled for many years my school is not getting into digital technologies and we are behind the pack. My goal is to try and get the curriculum going in our school. I was given Year 4s this year and they started with a Year 1 or 2 skill level.

To start I was trying to keep up with my 10 year old son.  Then saw potential in teaching coding for my Year 3 class.  I have taught scratch for the past two years to the year 3 students.  Next year the principal has entrusted me in writing the whole school digital technologies program.

I began using Robotics in classrooms whilst I was at Uni and have been using Lego robots in the classroom ever since. I am now teaching in a rural school that is a Prep to Yr 10 setting. I have the best of both worlds as I get to teach Digital Technologies to all grades as a specialist subject.

I am the Teacher-Librarian, in a Primary School. I have been involved in delivering a Lego Robotics program (some years ago).  I have also had a bit of a play with Scratch and developing a Google Earth Story Map (not sure if that is the correct term). Our catalogue is online and I am trying to encourage our students to submit content for reviews etc. through the catalogue.
I am largely "self taught" using digital technologies to solve problems in my 'extra-curricular real world' interests, so I am hoping that by being a learner, I can use that experience to help students solve their problems in a real world manner.

Was a Primary Teacher for 26 years and moved to high school with the year 7's. For 16 of those years, I was an ICT Coordinator. My main motivation for moving to high school was to teach more ICT. My biggest hurdle now is that I am mainly self taught, with no paper to back up my knowledge. My passion for IT means I am constantly playing with new programs and toys. It is hard to keep up with them all though. I have tried many different ways of utilising IT within my classrooms for 20 years. The more I learn, the more I find out there to learn. My husband works in the computer department at QUT, so it has been an interest we have been able to share and discover together for a long time. To sum it up, after 28 years I am still as passionate about my job as I was the day I started. When you add IT to the mix, it adds thrills and excitement, as I love playing with 'new toys' and finding engaging methods of teaching like 'Nearpod".
