From the Desk of DLTV’s President Hi everyone, Our in-person workshops funded through Google Educator Grants are up and running, which is very exciting. Some of these workshops, such as those focused on the Digital Technologies and Contemporary Art at the NGV are fully booked with a significant wait list. Other workshops have had less people available to attend so we are having to cancel or postpone. We understand that this is a difficult time for schools to engage in professional learning, and we are acutely aware that the limited number of causal relief teachers can make it challenging for school leaders to release teachers. We will assess our professional learning and how we’re going during this term, and will adjust accordingly to best meet your needs. We may also be able to bring adapted workshops to individual schools, so please contact DLTV’s Manager Kev if this is a priority for your school. To help navigate the issues that schools are facing, we are also implementing a program of more professional learning where we come to you. Hopefully this will help in the current situation. View the flyer here. EduTECH (10 & 11 Aug) will soon be upon us and we are looking forward to re-engaging with educators, so make sure your drop into our stand and say hello to our team. Many of our industry partners will also be there so please support them. While I’m talking about our industry partners, we had a great welcome event for most of supporters here at DLTV HQ last Wednesday afternoon. It was really lovely for them to all to meet each other and some of our committee. Again, just a reminder about membership. During COVID DLTV have made many of our resources free for educators but as the year progresses we will be starting to put things behind a members-only wall to ensure our financial sustainability. With that in mind, it’s probably important to budget for your membership for 2023. School membership still definitely represents the best value for members. Access more information about joining here. We know many teachers are currently missing out on professional learning, and many specialist teachers are being used to backfill classes. Some schools are even returning to forms of remote learning. If this is an issue for you please send us a line and we’ll be happy to see how we can help. As always reach out if we can support you in any other way. Cheers, Ben Gallagher President DLTV and ACCE | DLTV will be at EduTECH 2022 EduTECH 2022 is set to take place in Melbourne at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on 10 & 11 August. With two years of pent-up demand and an eagerness to upskill and reconnect in-person, the education sector is extremely excited to be returning to a face-to-face event format. Keep an eye on DLTV's fortnightly newsletter (subscribe) for access to ticket discounts.

ONLINE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING |
Our new virtual modules Digital Technologies in your school are designed to help you and your school get oriented for delivering Digital Technologies, with an emphasis on pedagogy and challenges for delivery. The modules include informative and discussion videos, activities to complete, and opportunities for reflection. Those undertaking the modules can book to attend a live session to discuss the material with others. We didn't want to reinvent the wheel by providing a basic introduction to Digital Technologies curriculum, though we do provide links to recommended starting points. 5 of the 10 planned modules are now available, with others to be released progressively. This resource was made possible with support from the Victorian Department of Education and Training. |
