Implementing the Digital Technologies curriculum in Victorian primary schools

We are offering an exciting 10-week professional development program to Victorian primary school teachers. The goal of the program is to provide Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for primary teachers involved in Digital Technologies teaching and learning across levels 3–6 of the Australian Digital Technologies curriculum.

The program will provide teachers with:

• Hands on Digital Technologies learning activities focusing on building TPACK skills
• Ready-to-use curriculum document and lesson plans
• Opportunities to collaborate and co-create
• Reflection and discussion on previous week’s lessons after implementation in the classroom
• Access to references and an online DT community throughout the 10-week program

Program delivery

Teachers will be required to attend either face-to-face or online 2-hour workshops over 10 weeks and concurrently run the a 5 unit of work within their classrooms in Term 1, 2021. The face-to-face component will be held at Hazel Glen College, 115 Eminence Boulevard, Doreen, Victoria. [View map]
