We acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of lands across Australia, their Elders, Ancestors, cultures and heritage, and recognise the continuing sovereignties of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations.

We respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which the ACTF is based and pay our respect to their Elders past and present.

We are honoured to have the opportunity to learn from the oldest cultural storytellers in the world and seek to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to share their rich culture and perspectives with children in Australia and around the world via stories on screen.

Victorian Government School Teachers: Help Inform the Quality of Digital Teaching Resources

The Victorian Department of Education is seeking feedback from teachers about how they use digital educational resources for teaching and learning. Feedback will form part of a research and evaluation project that will help the Department provide better and more relevant resources for schools. The Department is interested in learning how teachers:

use digital content
locate digital content
determine the relevance and quality of digital content
deliver resources to students and judge whether they have been effective or not
access and use online professional learning.

Information is being collected via an online survey and focus groups held at the following locations:

Whittlesea Tech School - Monday 19 August 1:30pm – 4pm
Collins Street Melbourne - Tuesday 20 August 1.30pm – 5pm (*participants will be asked to undertake 1-hour user experience testing for a new online resource for schools during this focus group)
Casey Tech School, Berwick 3806 - Wednesday 21 August 1.30pm – 4pm
Geelong Tech School - Thursday 22 August 1.30pm – 4pm
Bendigo Tech School - Friday 23 August 1.30-4pm
Virtual, Friday 23 August 9am-11.30am

Half day CRT per teacher will be made available to participants via the Schools Targeted Funding Portal and participants will receive full details of the focus groups via a Plain Language Statement. For more details, contact Rachel Crellin at: crellin.rachel.a@edumail.vic.gov.au.
