The Teaching Teachers for the Future (TTF) project, coordinated by Associate Professor Mark Pegrum and Associate Professor Grace Oakley, is now in its fifth month at UWA’s Faculty of Education where accelerated progress in Information Technology integration and skill acquisition has been acknowledged.

As part of the TTF program, Mr Adam Marchant was seconded to the Faculty of Education to monitor progress and support staff and students.

Currently, the TTF project focuses on:

• Producing digital resources for use within classrooms
• Developing a range of Wikis and Blogs
• Developing skill in the use of interactive whiteboards
• Building a collaborative community with ICT Pedagogy Officers in West Australian universities
• Exploring the functionality of the iPads introduced to Master of Teaching students in 2011
• Working with pre-service teachers to embed technology in their pedagogical approaches.

The Teaching Teachers for the Future project supports the Faculty’s aim of meeting the educational challenges of the 21st century.

Adam Marchant leaves the Faculty in mid October to take up the deputy principalship at Ellenbrook Primary School. We thank Adam for his commitment to this innovative national teacher education program.
