“I hope I’ll become an inspiring and effective teacher. I want to help my students achieve their goals and watch them pursue their dream careers.”

Dr Miriam Tanti lectures in information and communication technology and is interested in computing curriculum and methods to integrate technology into teaching practice. Since joining ACU in 2008, Dr Tanti has prepared both undergraduate and postgraduate students to teach in contemporary learning environments through the meaningful integration of digital technologies. She has also worked with schools and school leaders to develop effective science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) problem- and project-based learning frameworks and action research. Prior to ACU, Dr Tanti taught in secondary schools, specifically in technological and applied studies. Dr Tanti completed her PhD through the University of Sydney. Her PhD and subsequent research have emphasised developing a slow ontological and philosophical framework that presents a vision for sustainable learning, and she is currently writing a book on this topic.
