The aim is to support your courses in contributing as strongly as possible to ICT capability development and student preparedness to utilise ICTs to improve their teaching of History and English.

Michael and Rob are available to assist you to include uses of ICT especially within History and English education that build student capabilities and enhance the learning of concepts in these studies in your course profiles, assessments and plans.

In addition you have access to a National Support Network (NSN) of hundreds of TTF project members working to assist by sharing ideas, approaches and resources.

This is a rare opportunity for a national focus on one aspect of the curriculum and we look forward to assisting you in ensuring that English and History education at Canberra continues to remain foremost in Australian preservice education.
