eCapability+Cycle+Southern+Hui

The in-region teachers and liason teachers spent a morning with Amanda O'Connell (eFacilitator) and Kerry Whelan-Jones (eLearning Manager) on the Collaboration strand of the eCapability Cycle. This cycle rotates on a term basis and Southern's regional focus for Term 2, 2009 is Collaboration. The Collaboration strand covers 3 topics namely: Web2.0, Cybercitizenry and partnerships. The professional development was done in a group session with lots of lively discussions and questions. The most prominent links to resources will be under the three topic headings.
