South Australian educators and professional associations are encouraged to investigate the many opportunities for online learning as a means of widening access to professional development.
Centra is a web-based conferencing and collaborative learning environment available to many South Australian government schools for teaching and learning, professional development and meetings.
Centra events are recordable and can be viewed later by anyone who cannot attend at the time of the event.
Contact CEASA for information on attending or delivering events using Centra.
The Australia Series on Learn Central delivers a series of one hour interactive professional development sessions each week via an online classroom space.
The Australia Series blog provides details of the upcoming sessions which are delivered by enthusiastic practitioners sharing their ideas and expertise.
Using social media tools such as twitter, facebook, blogs and social bookmarking teachers and professional associations can build networks that provide a wealth of ideas, resources, support and debate on topics of interest to educators.
