ASISTM Projects
The oz-Teachernet has experience in supporting ASISTM projects. Our current projects are:
Project SSLIDE is a teacher professional development project currently being conducted as part of the Australian School Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Project, funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training as part of the Boosting Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Teaching (BISTMT) Programme. The project has been developed by staff of the Faculty of Education, Griffith University and Switched On Education.
Project SSLIDE involves students from urban, rural and tropical coastal communities sharing science learning using digital media and communication technologies. Seven Queensland State Primary Schools are involved:
- Arcadia Valley (via Injune)
- Dunkeld
- Graceville
- Muckadilla
- Mungalalla
- Murray River Upper
- Warrigal Road
Student participants will be sharing their science learning by creating short films and sharing these films via this website with students from other project schools. We hope that by discussing the content of their films with children from other parts of Queensland, students as young as six will gain an increased understanding of a range of science topics.
Deadly Maths is the working title for a group of projects concerned with Building Mathematics Education Capacity for Indigenous students. A number of projects will be showcased through this site beginning with Mathematics content and pedagogy for Indigenous students in the Townsville district which was funded by a federal ASISTM grant in 2006.
