Killara High School has been most fortunate to successfully negotiate a collaboration with the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) to review aspects of technology at Killara High School and typically set directions for the effective use of new and emerging technologies including Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in support of enhanced learning. The UTS research team comprises.
- Professor P. Aubusson, Head of School Education
- Professor S. Schuck, Director of Research Training, School of Education
- Associate Professor M. Kearney Digital learning, Teaching and Learning Coordinator, School of Education
- Dr Damian Maher, Teacher Education, Digital Learning, School of Education
Together with the UTS research team the Killara High School review team comprised of Mr T. Hand, Ms C. Cigana, Ms J. Newell and myself will be seeking input from students, parents and carers and school staff to determine emerging needs and to identify existing inefficiencies. A letter was sent home recently to a randomly selected number of our school community requesting involvement via interview in this project. If you have received a letter requesting your time, please respond by completing the response slip and returning it to Reception. If you did not receive a letter but would like to share your ideas and observations in a short interview please email me at liesl.williamson@det.nsw.edu.au or contact the school on 9498 3722.
This is a very exciting project and the team hopes that through this project teachers will receive greater support in the integration of cutting edge technology to enhance learning experiences for students at Killara High School and that systems associated with the support of technology are streamlined and operate with greater efficiency.
