Hi, I am a Support Teacher from Tasmania and I am currently working two days a week, supporting teachers in implementing Digital Technologies from Kinder to Grade 6. I look forward to furthering my knowledge and skills. The future of technology and kids is super exciting!

I am Digital Learning Facilitator in a primary school. My role currently involves implementing the new curriculum across P-6. I really enjoyed the opportunity to learn about Digital Technologies curriculum in the first MOOC, especially being inspired by other people's great ideas for bringing it to life. I am looking forward to being inspired and challenged further in this next step.

I just signed up for the MOOC. I am the ICT Administrator for Townsville Catholic Education. My team and I are committed to delivering the infrastructure and providing advice about devices to help teachers deal with digital technologies. I am doing the MOOC so I can experience first hand what our teachers are going to be doing. Looking forward to getting to know others on this same journey.
