Multimedia Education in Australian Primary Schools in the Context of Curriculum, Policies and the Classroom

摘要

The ongoing debate about the validity of computer technology within the classroom and curriculum extends beyond why technology should be taught in schools to how technology should be integrated within the schools' curriculum framework. Much of the literature focuses on the pedagogical practices of teachers and the fear of technology and de-skilling, and how computer-based technology can be properly implemented to assist school students in their educational advancement. This article sketches some current contexts of multimedia in the Primary school in order to highlight some of the factors impinging on its effective implementation.
