Who am I?

Hi everyone! Welcome to our NOW Conference and Ning.
I have been an educator in the Western Metropolitan Region for all my career, dating back to the 80s! I have taught many grade levels from Early Years to Midddle Years, and now experiencing being a mother of daugthers in Later Years. I have particularly enjoyed embedding ICT in my classroom and learning with my students :-)
I love being a teacher and now in my new role I love being an Ultranet Coach. In this role I am able to support schools in their preparation for the Ultranet. This has included working on raising the awareness of the potential of ICT for Teaching and Learning and supporting schools in developing eLearning plans. This year I am running an ICT Peer Coaching course for teachers and leaders wishing to create ICT professional learning models that are onsite, ongoing and in time.

Preparing for a Great Conference

This term the team has been planning and preparing for the NOW Conference. It has been a pleasure to source such wonderful presenters who are able to offer terrific online presentations. We have a good variety of teachers, leaders and experts in their field. We are hoping that we can continue our support within our region by offering hands-on workshops and onsite support in our role as Ultranet Coaches.
