These learning communities encourage sharing of skills and ideas about ICT and education. Their key role is to increase the amount of ICT professional learning available to teachers/educators in a particular region. Their direction will be dependent on the needs and interests of those involved in the group. Generally, they will be set up in areas where there is limited or no other ICT professional learning opportunities.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><strong>Who are they for?</strong><br>Suitable for all teachers P-12 They cater for teachers from a variety of settings [Kindergarten, Primary, Post-Primary, Special, TAFE] and systems [Government, Non-Government].</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">VITTA PLNs are open to all, [not just VITTA members].
