 * How student learning would be evaluated ans ICT pedagogie**

Through the use of ICT students work would be evaluated by direct questioning of what they are doing when using specific ICT for learning for example Mathletics another great example is when students were playing the give a dog a bone game myself and my supervising teacher we could actually visually see the students mathematically thinking and reasoning while trying to find set number positions on a blank 100s chart.

With the use of ICT software like Mathletics the evaluation is done for the teacher automatically by keeping records of what the students has done while using the program and keeping records of their progress. Also students in a sense can now also self evaluate as computer and internet based learning games give an auditory and sometimes visual reward for doing what is required. These types of evaluation can save the teacher a lot of time having to set up and mark ongoing test papers.

ICT and digital technology provide potentially powerful learning tools in our schools, but ultimately it is the teachers who creates the learning environment that either unleashes or potential or inhibits it uses (Way & Beardon 2003). Pedagogies used by most teachers in Australia reflect a long tradition of learner-centered theories of education. These theories require learning to be: • individualised and collaborative • experiential, building on prior learning • self-managed and cumulative • authentic • directed to higher-order problem solving. The use of information and communication technologies builds on, and extends these pedagogical approaches. Pedagogies integrating ICT can do more than enhance learning – they have the potential to transform learning. ICT provide tools and environments that support interactive conceptual learning, focussed on constructing and creating knowledge.
