The Knowledge Bank Next Generation Professional Learning Program

On the 3rd and 4th of June 2008, the Knowledge Bank Next Generation Professional Learning Program (PLP) conducted the PLP Induction Program for the Term 3 projects.

Katrina Reynen, Assistant General Manager for the Innovation & Next Practice Division outline the structure and the goals for the PLP program.

In term 3 2008, a number of projects will be run throughout Victoria trialling the use of blogging and podcasting. Further trials, trialling other Web 2.0 technologies will be conducted in term 4 and in 2009. The trials will address issues of cyber safety, accessibility for all students and academic rigour using new technologies with the outcomes of the trials informing DEECD policy.

In addition to the PLP Program, a Professional Learning Community will be offered in order to support those who are trialling these Web 2.0 technologies and practices but not part of the intensive PLP program. This site will have further details about the Professional Learning Community in the coming weeks.
