Profile

Dr. Janelle Hill is a Lecturer in Mathematics Education. Before moving into academia, Janelle was employed as a scientist, a social worker, and a primary science and secondary mathematics teacher. These experiences have enhanced the quality of her teaching and continue to provide her students with authentic life experiences that assist them in developing their own knowledge and confidence in education.

In her Ph.D. thesis, entitled ' A Case Study of the Introduction of iPads at an Australian K–12 School,' Janelle investigated the introduction of iPads in a Foundation to Year 12 school from the perspectives of the principal, teachers, and students. She also examined the impact of the introduction on teachers’ views and pedagogical strategies, and students’ views of educational uses of iPads in mathematics and English classes. In addition, she considered gender differences in students’ views and uses of iPads.
