ItemCreativity with Technology in Primary School Mathematics(Australian Association for Research in Educatio, 2015)Creativity is one of many terms used to try and explain connections between cognitive processes and educational applications of ICT, although rarely by students. While not necessarily the first, Papert and many of the early users of Logo saw the possibility of engaging the minds of learners with and through the new computer technology. Technology has advanced amazingly since then, however classroom practices involving technology do not appear to have been refined or developed to the same extent. Consequently in 2015 there is still debate about whether ICT should be an integral part of mainstream classroom practice, its place in the curriculum, and what skills and knowledge teacher need to effectively use technology for teaching. There is a lot of software available that enables students and teachers to apply their creative thinking through various modes of multimedia in order to write stories, produce reports, and make presentations. In these types of software students are representing ideas, facts, and concepts through combinations of written and oral text, moving and still images, colour and sound. Some examples of this type of use by Australian primary school children will be presented. Although the examples presented show there is extensive involvement with language, art and technology, the focus will be on creativity while learning about mathematics.

ItemICT competencies for school students(Informatica Didactica, 2014)This paper discusses results from a small-scale research study, together with some recently published research into student perceptions of ICT for learning in schools, to consider relevant skills that do not appear to currently being taught. The paper concludes by raising three issues relating to learning with and through ICT that need to be addressed in school curricula and classroom teaching.
