ICT use in classrooms has been under investigation since it first began being used in education, often with mixed results on the impact and worthiness of ICT. The research in this paper examined the self-reported confidence and competence in ICT of a Grade 6 teacher and students at a Western Australian Catholic primary school as well as the use of ICT in the classroom. The study incorporated interviews, questionnaires, and observation of a literacy lesson where ICT was used by the teacher and students. Findings indicate that the teacher and students rated themselves as both competent and confident in ICT and considered ICT as an important part of the lesson and of the teacher's role. The findings support research on the impact of the teacher on the use of ICT in the classroom, both in terms of their use of ICT and the use of ICT by their students.
