Training Teachers to use Technology in the Classroom

What does real training look like for teachers using technology in the classroom?

You’ve been told to integrate technology. Maybe you’ve tried. But what if you still feel unsure—where to start, what to use, or how to make it work for your students?

Are you thinking about how to improve your own use of technology in the classroom? You’re not alone—and you’re already one step ahead.

Real training doesn’t happen in a one-off workshop. It happens through support that is ongoing, practical, and grounded in real classroom experience.

That’s why the ICT in Education Teacher Academy was created: to help teachers like you move from uncertainty to clarity. Not through more tools—but through purposefully using the technology already available to you, with a structured plan that leads to transformation.

This membership gives you everything you need to grow, reflect, and lead in your own way.

What if your training was part of your teaching?

Most professional learning happens outside of your classroom. But what if it didn’t have to?

The ICT in Education Teacher Academy offers you:

• Lesson plans that model integration, not just tell you about it

• Planning templates that map outcomes to real tech use

• Differentiation guides so you can tailor tech to student needs

• Classroom-ready digital activities with step-by-step instructions

• Reflection and observation tools that help you assess impact

• A workbook that supports your professional learning journey—and makes it visible

You’re not just consuming training. You’re applying it—on your terms, in your context.

If you’ve made it this far, you already know this matters. Now imagine if you had the tools and guidance to act on it.

Sarah’s Story: From Avoiding Tech to Leading with It

Can you relate to feeling unsure about how to start using technology in the classroom?

Sarah, a Foundation teacher in regional Queensland, did too.

“I knew I should be using the iPads—but I didn’t know how to start.”

After joining the membership, Sarah downloaded a digital storytelling lesson and followed the steps.

“It felt like having a mentor at my desk. I knew why I was using tech—not just how.”

She now documents her growth with the workbook and shares ideas in the community. Her students are more engaged—and so is she.

What Every Effective Training Program Needs—And How the Membership Delivers

You're already thinking about how to use technology more effectively in your classroom. If you've read articles from other sites, you've likely seen the same recommendations repeated: assess teacher needs, offer hands-on opportunities, provide continuous support, and ensure training leads to real classroom impact.

The ICT in Education Teacher Academy delivers on every one of these principles—because they're built into the way the membership works:

• You start with a real needs assessment—guided by your use of the membership workbook and reflective planning tools.

• You learn by doing—with downloadable digital activities and ICT-integrated lesson plans you apply in real time.

• You’re supported at every stage—through the workbook, the member community, and curated tools that remove the guesswork.

• You grow with purpose—because each activity contributes to your own transformation as a confident, capable teacher using ICT with intention.

This is not a summary of best practices—it’s where those practices become your reality.

How the Membership Builds Your Confidence—Step by Step

Each element of the membership is designed to meet you where you are and support growth over time:

• You begin with a lesson plan that shows how technology can meet learning goals.

• You map it out using planning templates that connect directly to your classroom needs.

• You implement it using step-by-step digital activities and guidance for all ability levels.

• You reflect with purpose using observation tools and workbook prompts.

• You grow with evidence—tracking your practice as you become more confident and capable.

This is how small, supported steps become transformation over time.

Start With Confidence—Even If You’ve Never Done This Before

Each element of the membership is designed to meet you where you are and support growth over time—with benefits that go far beyond checklists or theory:

• You begin with a lesson plan that shows how technology can meet learning goals—so you’re never guessing where to start.

• You map it out using planning templates that simplify curriculum alignment and clarify what success looks like.

• You implement it using step-by-step digital activities and guidance designed to fit any skill level.

• You reflect with purpose using observation tools and workbook prompts that make growth visible.

• You grow with evidence—so you can confidently track your development and lead digital learning with clarity.

These are the building blocks of transformation—not in theory, but in practice.
