In this paper we draw on data from a larger study where we have been exploring the ways
in which teachers in diverse settings use ICTs (or not) to enhance students’ numeracy
learning. Drawing on the data from a survey implemented in 6 schools that were
representative of considerable diversity within the Australian education system, we report
the ways in which various programs are used, the levels of ICT usage across grade levels
and teachers’ levels of skill and confidence with the use of ICTs. We find that there are
differences between our schools in these areas that may be constitutive of aspects of a
digital divide in ...
