The Innovative Learning Technology Project has provided an exciting vehicle for collaboration and shared learning for teachers and academics within the Schools Innovative Learning Cooperative (SILC). Project BackgroundThe Innovative Learning Technology Project is designed to establish a culture of innovation within partner schools and foster the development of innovative approaches to teaching and learning in Mathematics, Science and Technology.Each school-based project has been designed around a high-interest, student-focused topic that has grown from the expertise of teachers and opportunities available at the school. The enquiry and design processes have opened up new perspectives for students on learning in each curriculum area. Students have been encouraged to become "risk takers" and develop a "can do " attitude as they take up the project challenge. Teachers have also developed confidence in taking risks - being supported by the extended SILC community that has shared knowledge and promoted the development of interdisciplinary learning. University partners at UTS have worked closely with the school communities to document and report on the project outcomes. Using ICTThe school-based projects are designed to allow staff and students to broaden and deepen their knowledge contemporary uses of ICT in design, communications, maths & science.Novel ICT applications have been introduced to students and teachers, reflecting real world uses and supporting the roles of students as directors of their own learning, and mentors for others in the projects.
