Trevor Galbraith will present
RIDSP - Rockingham Innovative Digital Schools Project

Innovative - Imaginative - Inspiring – Integrated: the themes of this conference encapsulate this program. Late in 2006, the Director of Catholic Education, Mr Ron Dullard instigated targeting the broader Rockingham region with regards to a Middle Schooling Transition Project, using ICT as the medium.

The project focused on using the myinternet suite of products for developing Digital Portfolios as a vehicle for Primary-to-Primary and Primary to Secondary school discussion and liaison. The project also put in place a process aiding the transition of students from primary to secondary schooling, and assisting middle school teachers to integrate ICT into teaching and learning programs and institute pedagogical practices that will benefit student outcomes.

This session, which would be of benefit to all who teach in the Catholic Education system, is broader in the context of its presentation.

Trevor Galbraith the ACCE Educator of the Year in 2005 will share with you a project aimed at using technology at the leading edge. Is such a concept possible or practical to implement or is this just another project destined for the been there done that folder?

The presenter of this session would like to suggest that some real and exciting opportunities are there for us all to share in through the use of Web2 technologies.
