Kids Connect - Brisbane

Brisbane City Hall was a buzzing with activity! We had a ball and so did the kids! See student work at the Brisbane Kids Connect website

Kids Connect - Brisbane

Kids Connect is Brisbane Catholic Education's two day ICLT technology conference organised for kids by kids.  

This year Theresa Sheen and her year 7 class of Our Lady of Dolours, Mitchelton have been working hard to organise this event that would be held at Brisbane City Hall on September 13 and 14. This year there will be approximately 15 breakouts and 150 students!  

MAC1 are major sponsors of this event.  We provide MacBooks for studnets and teachers over the two days to create their projects over the conference. 

Mike Anderson will be facilitating a two day professional learning hands on workshop that encourages teachers to embed ICLT into their teaching and learning.  

Visit the Kids Connect website for more information. 

Term 3 Discussion Groups - Brisbane and Gold Coast

Two great nights of learning! Our ICT discussion groups are growing and continue to provide educators with the opportunity to establish links with other schools and professionals interested in developing their technical literacy and embedding ICT in curriculum. 

Both evenings began with an Apple trivia quiz and a look at the just released iLife '08 Suite with a discussion about the differences between the two. 

Bob Rodgers shared with us stories from his recent trip to the USA where he participated in professional development in Pasco and My Worlds.  He also shared with us some of the ways he uses spread sheets and conditional formatting in his maths classes.
