2009 Lindsday Thompson Fellowship Award Winner
Louise Duncan, Shepparton High School, Hume Region
Information Communication and Technology (ICT) fan, Louise Duncan, has transformed learning at Shepparton High School using the humble iPod. She is considered an eLearning champion at the school where she has taught for seven years.
Ms Duncan’s tireless fundraising has enabled the school to increase its technology assets and successfully embed the use of ICT into the curriculum, with a strong focus on personalised learning through one-to-one technology – namely, the iPod.
Her determination and unstoppable enthusiasm to transform learning with technology has inspired schools across the nation and impressed other project participants in Singapore, USA and the UK.
She will travel to schools in the USA and UK to experience and document their findings in the use of ICT within their schools.
“My research will culminate in attending the Handheld Learning Conference in London – which is where this journey really began,” she said.
Ms Duncan has been working with the Etech Group, the global provider of the Studywiz learning platform, which won an innovation award at last year’s Handheld Learning Conference. Studywiz Mobile is the first full learning platform optimised for use on Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch, and other handheld devices.
