In 2007, the Rudd Federal Labor government initiated the Digital Education Revolution, providing laptops for students in Years 9 to 12 in NSW schools. This is the first of four episodes telling the story of Year 9 students Ruby, Nethanel, Rob, Victoria, Jake, Tylar, Gemma and Ramese navigating their journey using the laptops in their high school education.

  • What might the parents, teachers and principals expect?

  • How are these expectations different to those of the students?

  • What benefits does the community expect the laptops will bring?

  • What are the students’ expectations about how the laptops will assist their learning?

  • Are the community and student expectations realistic?

  • Can the laptops support student learning both within and outside the classroom?

  • Is this the beginning of a ‘revolution’? Why/Why not?

    It’s 2007 and the Digital Education Revolution is underway. The laptops bring a new dimension to classrooms. But how will they change student learning? This is the first of four episodes following the impact of the Digital Education Revolution – NSW.
