=*What does the literature tell us?*=

State governments in Australia have invested millions of dollars to prioritise the integration of technologies in schools (Schiller, 2002). Moyle (2006) recognized that Information Communication Technology (ICT) is a fundamental part of a high quality 21st century education in Australia and indicated that educational leadership, at all levels, must help enable teachers to include ICT into their teaching and learning. Arthur, Beecher, & Downes (2001), examining an Australian perspective, believe that establishing a sound pedagogical framework for the use of digital resources is a necessary part in the overall process of ensuring their effective use.
