For those working in secondary schools I have developed a Digital Fluency - Secondary site.
PLD: Digital Fluency, including the new Digital Technology curriculum areas remain a priority for MoE PLD. Applications are always open but need to be in by October 29th for a Term 1 2022 start. If you need free help with an application you can contact me (Jan-Marie Kellow) or Stephen Ross. Digital Fluency is one of the new priorities and applications can combine priority areas. Visit this webpage to download a Word version of the application so you can prepare a draft application ready to submit to the new online PLD application site. More information here.

More information can be found here. "....Computers are not rescuing the school from a weak curriculum, any more than putting pianos in every classroom would rescue a flawed music program. Wonderful learning can occur without computers or even paper. But once the teachers and children are enfranchised as explorers, computers, like pianos, can serve as powerful amplifiers, extending the reach and depth of the learners." Alan Kay
