Activity report.

Network News:

Monthly meetings have been a recent topic and we recieved a lot of replies to the network emails. It is clear that we need to use both Wednesdays and Thursdays for meetings as it's a pretty even split. We will alternate between the two to allow everyone equal chances to attend. Whichever we get the most for by FRIDAY the 28th will be the day for November.

The topics for the first meeting will be:

• The network and it's structure, how it fits with VIT and DEECD.


• accessing the blog and skydrive and using them to their full potential.


• We will then use member resources on skydrive for a professional reading and discussion afterwards.


• If there's any time left it will be open discussion, socializing and swapping ideas for personal research and resources.

As soon as parking and a few other niggly details are rounded up we will announce firm dates and times.

We also added pages to the blog covering general CRT and Network information.

PD News:

In the last week we put down some miles on the PD front for 2012.

• eLearning - a couple half day workshops.


• Literacy - full day.


• Maths - full day.


• Sue King is also on the cards with a Visual Resources full day PD.

Emails have been going out to multiple places looking for locally relevant presenters in the last few weeks. This week we went through the replies and sent out some more emails.

Things are on-track to provide 4 x full-day PDs and some half-day PDs at under our budget for 2012. We should see the return of some old faces and a couple of new ones too.
