Tech-Talk Tuesdays
Are you an educator who is interested in integrating ICT into your lessons? Do you hear about the exciting learning opportunities that technology offers to students, but want to find out more from others before you dive in head first? Then Tech-Talk Tuesdays are for you!
This professional learning network has been established to create an informal weekly discussion around technology in education. This session is open to all Victorian educators; we ensure a supportive environment and welcome people with all levels of experience with ICT. Bring along your own ideas and strategies to share, or simply come along and learn from the discussion.
Each session will take place online in Elluminate, so you can link up with teachers from schools all over the state without even leaving your desk! These sessions are completely free, but you will need to register to secure your place. Once you have signed up, you will receive a link to join the Elluminate room.
