        *


    Dear Colleagues

    Kid with laptopThe Australian National Schools Network is launching
    a new PD opportunity for early childhood teachers focusing on making
    technology an integral component within a play focus for  teachers
    of prep- year 2 classrooms.  The project is based on the learning's
    from the KidSmart workshop which has been a national project since
    2000 with ANSN and the IBM, where prep/preschool teachers from rural
    or disadvantaged areas were supported through a 12 month action
    learning PD model to focus on developing effective pedagogical
    strategies for ICT implementation.

    *What is involved in our Hubs?* Up to 3 teachers in a school (or in
    the case of small schools a cluster team of 3) are invited to
    participant in a 5-day action learning professional development
    program spread through out 2009.

    Please view the pdf brochure for more details including costing.

    Through the 5 days teachers will develop skills and knowledge using
    technology, share practice and critically reflect on their own ideas
    and beliefs around technology integration.

    The initial 2 days of the Digi Kids Hub will be scheduled at Hobart
