include the Connected Learning Awards and WeCreate challenges, offer
students exciting opportunities to use ICT in meaningful, engaging and
creative ways. For the 2010 WeCreate Connected Learning Awards,
students will be able to create not only digital stories, short films,
greeting cards, digital artworks, learning resources and web sites. The
WeCreate challenges offer students the chance to produce videos for
news broadcasts, documentary films and for themes such as national
treasures in their local area. This competition is open to students
K-12 across Australia.<br><br>WeCreate projects will be conducted
throughout 2010 and each one can be mapped across a range of curriculum
areas. All WeCreate projects are free to enter and are open to all
school-aged children in all schools across Australia.<br><br>For full details of the WeCreate projects go to <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1821"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.cli.nsw.edu.au/services/wecreate/wecreate.htm">http://www.cli.nsw.edu.au/services/wecreate/wecreate.htm</a></span>
