Digital teaching resources

Recently, the Foundation for Young Australians used ‘big data’ to analyse the skill patterns in the current and future labour market. It identified that the demand for digital literacy skills is growing across most job clusters. For example, the proportion of early career jobs requesting digital literacy skills increased by 212 per cent from 2012–2015. This was the highest growth rate of any skills area. Over 90 per cent of jobs over the next five years are expected to involve digital literacy, and over 50 per cent are expected to require advanced digital skills.

The NSW Education Standards Authority explains that the use of ICT in learning fosters motivation and provides opportunities for better and broader engagement of students. (ICT in Schools Audit 2017)
