Abstract
The directions being promoted in the Australian Curriculum in relation to teaching and learning with technologies, have been dated and out of kilter with directions being taken overseas, including Australia's near neighbours of Singapore, Hong Kong, the Republic of Korea and New Zealand (Moyle, 2015). But the Australian Curriculum does build upon a spasmodic history in Australian school education of incorporating technologies into students' learning at school. This paper provides a summary of the peaks and troughs that can be seen in this spasmodic history, by using the $2.027 billion, Digital Education Revolution (DER) as a landmark policy from which to reflect upon the policies that came before it, and to review what has followed it.
