Digital revolution or digital divide: Will rural teachers get a piece of the professional development pie?
Summary. Rural teachers in Western Australia face significant barriers accessing professional development compared to urban counterparts. Despite Australian government funding for digital education initiatives, including broadband expansion and $40 million for teacher ICT training, rural isolation limits access to professional learning communities and support structures. A survey of 104 rural principals and teachers reveals their perceptions of professional development access and how they use technology to overcome geographic barriers.
