Abstract
The La Trobe University iteration of the Teaching Teachers for the Future (TTF) project
focused initially on subject in the second semester, third year of the Bachelor of Education
course called the Multi-Disciplinary Science & Technology Integrated Experience (MSTIE).
Two pairs of pre-service teachers were placed in the school where the TTF ICT Pedagogy
Officer (ICTPO) worked as an ICT specialist. The two teams worked with classroom teachers
and the ICTPO to cooperatively plan, teach and evaluate a science curriculum project
enhanced by strong ICT integration. The experience was a catalyst for significant
educational insight, for the students involved, but also for other pre-service teachers and
teachers from the school and university.
In the second cycle of the project the ICTPO worked with academics from the university to
draw on findings from the first cycle in order to design and implement integrated ICT
initiatives in a first semester, second year Science curriculum subject. This structure means
that students who will take MSTIE in their third year will have a strong foundation of
Science ICT integration on which to base their MSTIE preparation and implementation.
