ICT in Schools

http://www.scientistsinschools.edu.au/ict/ICTprofessional/index.htm

The ICT in Schools program allows you to work with teachers and schools in a 
flexible, professional partnership.

You will provide valuable ideas and inspiration for teachers and students; in 
turn, you will receive a fresh perspective on ICT from your contact with the 
classroom environment.

You can nominate a school, or you can leave it to us to select an appropriate 
school for you.

You have control over your involvement with your partner teacher, so your 
partnership can suit your availability and interests.

For example, you could:

arrange a class visit to your workplace or another ICT site
give a presentation to a class of students
help a school involved in an ICT competition
mentor students who are working on ICT projects
answer students’ questions by email
help a teacher run ICT activities with students
provide support and information to teachers.

The most beneficial partnerships (for all involved) are those that are 
longer-term rather than one-off.

What’s in it for me?

ICT professionals who have worked with schools have found it very rewarding. 
Their own enthusiasm for their profession is often increased through contact 
with students’ curiosity and engagement.

Many ICT professionals find they get the opportunity to work with the ICT 
gadgets and equipment again that first gave them their enthusiasm for the 
subject.

Many professionals also feel a sense of achievement in nurturing and inspiring 
students’ interest in technology as a career option and as part of their every 
day lives.
