Students produce higher quality work with access to high-speed broadband as part of their schooling, a new report says. The report, 21st Century Teaching Strategies for a Highly Connected World, drew on the experiences of 60 teachers at three schools connected to the national broadband network (NBN) – PLC Armidale, the TAFE teacher training institute at Armidale, and Willunga High School in South Australia. “Students who used to hand in C-grade work are now producing A-grade work,” Ms Reimann said. And 86 per cent said access to super quick broadband would improve how lessons were delivered. “We found that online, collaborative learning supported by fast, ubiquitous broadband is motivating our children to become even more engaged and successful in the subjects they learn,” ideasLAB assistant director Richard Olsen said.
