<div>Hi everyone,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I am a teacher in NSW who uses a similar list to communicate to other Industrial Arts educators- however, I had a great idea <b>last week</b>- and that was to set up a <b>forum</b> for us to communicate on/share files/ideas etc on a NATIONAL level, across ALL our areas. . .</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I am not computing trained, so the forum is by no means "perfect" YET - but it does however allow for teachers of each subject within our area to have a "space" to discuss/swap/share ! </div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I am inviting you to join. Well ahead of our curriculum becoming national, it would be nice comunicate beforehand! there is also a discussion open about the draft curriculum. </div><div>
<br></div><div><br></div><div>Head to - - -> <a href="http://techedforum.com.au/">techedforum.com.au</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The only "rule" at present is that your username should be your REAL NAME and the post you make should contain your location (there are rural NSW and QLD members already!)</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Look forward to working with you all! Let me know if you have any feedback/questions?!</div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>
