Subject: [edugames] Integrating ICT Pedagogy into School Communities
	Workshops in rural and regional Victoria
Message-ID: <75AAF121-A500-4B9D-9C4E-D305641CA6DC@gmail.com>

A great PD opportunity is coming to rural and regional Victoria



Integrating ICT Pedagogy into School Communities Workshops



The Federal Government though DEEWR is funding professional  
development opportunities for teachers in rural and regional  
Australia. [These are not available in any capital city]



They are targeted at Primary and Post Primary teachers of Mathematics,  
History, English and the Sciences who wish to integrate ICT more fully  
into there teaching



As distance is always a consideration for teachers in rural and  
regional schools, this project has a large online component.  While  
teachers are bought together for a one day workshop, the rest will  
build on online support of the workshop convenors and the school teams  
throughout Victoria [and Australia]



This program joins together school teams who wish to be supported in  
action learning projects that will more fully integrate ICT into the  
curriculum



Pre requisites, ?..this program is for

1.   Primary teachers and Post Primary teachers of Mathematics,  
History, English and the Sciences

2.     School teams of 2-5 teachers, [not necessarily from the same  
faculty or learning team, although they can be!]

3.     Teachers who would like the opportunity to improve the quality  
of their curriculum design

4.     Teachers who want to meet other like minded teachers



There are no pre-requisites of ICT skill levels, just and interest and  
desire in integrating ICT into the curriculum



Integrating ICT Pedagogy into School Communities Workshops has three  
phases



Phase One: Signing up to the project. Joining up with the workshop  
online site and completing some pre workshop tasks [about 3 hours time  
commitment between now and October 16th]



Phase Two: Participation in a workshop in which you can bring along a  
curriculum project that you are working on and get input and online  
resources to integrate ICT into it. This session will be lead by Hanan  
Harrison [a noted educator from Queensland] and myself.


Phase Three: A chance to work on your project back at school, but also  
have the support of the workshop presenters and other teachers  
involved in this nation wide project



There is a choice of three Victorian workshops



A one day workshop is at Brauer Secondary College, Warrnambool on  
Tuesday October 13th 2009



A one day workshop at Bairnsdale Secondary College on Thursday October  
15th 2009



A one day workshop at Bendigo Senior Secondary College on Friday  
October 16th 2009
