DigiTech4All: Optimising inclusive pedagogies for teaching the Digital Technologies curriculum
Chief Investigator: Dr Carmel Mesiti
Melbourne Graduate School of Education
This project will investigate effective teaching strategies so that students with disabilities and additional needs are included in Digital Technologies lessons alongside their same age peers in a mainstream middle school classroom.
DigiTech4All is a pilot research project designed to bring together the professional knowledge and experiences of mainstream and specialist educators. In addition to significant policy implications, this project will develop a set of principles for planning and designing inclusive Digital Technologies Lessons for students with disability. A video library of effective teaching strategies will also provide a useful resource available to relevant stakeholders.
