Abstract
While there is strong advocacy for schools to
integrate the use of new technologies across the curriculum, an
extensive literature highlights challenges facing schools undertaking
such an agenda. This paper reports on the planning, implementation, and
evaluation of a whole-school approach to using new technologies for
teaching and learning in a senior secondary school in Australia. The
paper provides an analysis of crucial factors in the effective use of
computers for learning across the curriculum.
