Digital Education Revolution

It is an exciting time in the world of digital education.

The Commonwealth Government’s Digital Education Revolution has a National Secondary Schools Computer Fund component which aims by 2012 to provide Years 9 to 12 students with a 1:1 computer ratio.

The NSW Department of Education and Training’s DER NSW program aims to achieve this ratio with a wirelessly enabled laptop for their individual use by the end of the program.

South Western Sydney Region will provide a range of professional development initiatives to build capacity in the region of all staff integrating laptops across Key Learning Areas with a focus on quality teaching.
