Information Technology Skills of Australian Teachers: Implications for Teacher Education.

Russell, Glenn; Finger, Glenn; Russell, Neil

Journal of Information Technology for Teacher Education, v9 n2 p149-66 2000

Investigated Australian teachers' experience with and skill in information technology. Surveys of elementary and secondary teachers from 400 schools indicated that teachers believed they had basic but not advanced computer skills. They reported low levels of knowledge about information technology developments, identified barriers to using technology in the classroom, and indicated preferences for professional development not reflected in current practice.
