Over recent years, the Australian government has provided $2.4 billion to new ICT equipment for schools, with a majority of secondary schools reaching the initial target of one laptop or tablet per student.
The latest Australian Curriculum (Version 9) requires ICT to be embedded, where it is regarded as a ‘general capability’ within ‘digital literacy.
