March Update
March is as busy as ever. This month I am providing a keynote address and workshop at the Independent Schools of Queensland's Innovations Forum. My focus will be on the way children are connected to technology and the challenge for schools to engage students.
Later in the month I will be in Doha, Qatar providing talks to administrations and teachers on Cybersafety as part of the ACMA cybersafety program.
Upcoming conferences are the Alannah Madeline Foundation - Cyberbullying conference and the ACEC conference which is being co-ordinated by ICTEV. I look forward to catching up with lots of creative educators, leaders and community members at these events.
There is a real mix of requests for my services, from school design and innovative practices, through to web 2.0 technologies and of course Cybersafety
Most weeks I am providing cybersafety awareness programs for ACMA (Australia Government) Cybersafety section to staff forums, school pd days, student forums and parent sessions all over Australia.
The ACMA full day accredited Cybersafety programs for teachers are also being delivered weekly throughout Australia. In January and February I will be running a number of full day events for schools who have requested programs to enable their entire staff to become Cybersafety accredited.
Bookings are now open for schools based sessions for 2010. Unfortunately all my bookings are now filled to July 2010. We also have our full day accredited professional development for educators programs running each week, with plenty of availability and of course, all our Cybersafety programs are free of charge.
Schools who wish to book teacher or parent sessions, or conferences who would like keynote addresses with a focus on internet safety should contact ACMA direct. This also includes registration for the full day PD programs. email: cybersafety@acma.gov.au. There is also an online booking form in the school Gateway section of the new Cybersafety web site: www.cybersmart.gov.au
Schools who wish to book Greg for PD days, conference or closure days with sessions on how to incorporate web 2.0 technologies into the curriculum should contact Greg direct at greg@itvision.net.au.
