We have a learning model based on interactive high performance technologies. Our plan is adaptive and responsive to teacher experiences in the classroom and in development workshops at NPAC and the School of Education. We must define what is good, what are we measuring, and how do we measure.
Long term timescales are essential.
New opportunities and approaches to software development that can only be developed in an education research environment are defined here. This is another source of input to NPAC software developers on what technologies, applications, integration of components are most useful. If this proves effective in attracting preservice teachers to experiment with the machines and software, it could produce a nice study on the effect on attitudes toward technology of education applications before becoming a full time teacher.
