The development of an ICT Capabilities matrix and skills survey by the Department of Education provides schools with an easy way to gather data on ICT skills to assist in developing a targeted professional learning program.

Secondary Schools' across Bendigo have made a commitment to having staff complete this survey in coming weeks.

In addition to the survey, a wealth of resources sit behind the continuum to assist teachers in previewing examples of student work and teaching and learning resources that can assist them in their professional growth.

A whole new world

As holidays begin am taking the time to "play" around and see what is new on the web. Web 2.0 is certainly changing what we can do as educators in the classroom.
Some sites I have just been looking at include:

Tom March's blog Have been a fan of Toms work for many years - his latest work with a focus on web 2.0 continues to impress and provides me with many ideas for classrooms across Bendigo. Too many ideas too little time!

Google for Educators Well worth a look to see what is new.

Term One Professional Learning

A range of professional learning programs have been planned for term one.

Enabling Powerful Learning in the Humanities will provide teachers with the opportunity to participate in an ongoing program that is underpinned by the Principles of Effective Professional Learning.
