I’m presenting at the CEGSA conference on both days. Today (at 2:35pm) I’ll be exploring the recent developments in the Australian Curriculum and the National Professional Standards. By the end of the presentation I hope that you will be well versed in the statutory requirements for teachers in Australia – when it comes to the use of ICT in your classrooms.
This post is designed to serve as a place to stop, find the resources I used, ask questions and share your opinions about what you heard. Below you’ll find an embed of the Prezi presentation I shared with you. Of course, it’s published under creative commons and so you are free to share anything you find within it with others. It’s also a handy way of getting to the link that I shared with you. All you need to do is scroll to the part of the presentation where I mention the link and you’ll be able to click straight to it.
For quick reference, I’ve also made a list of those links in an ordered list. I’d love to hear from you so please feel free to comment below. I’m happy to answer any questions, hear your thoughts on the presentation itself and continue this vital professional dialogue with you.
