The EdNA Group allows members to upload any information / files relating to teaching Systems that can be shared as a common resource. During the busy periods of semester 2 contributions slowed significantly. However the Group offers great potential for resource sharing, which should be invaluable especially to those new to the subject. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>We have had quite a lot of helpful worksheets and tests on already but there must be plenty more we can contribute. This is a good time of the year to look at your notes and see if you can find a few items that you are willing share amongst the Group. </div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">These are the instructions I received from EdNA to send to our teachers to get them started...</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><i>Your group members will need to Register with edna Groups, and the best</i></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><i>way to do that is to direct them to </i><a href="http://www.groups.edna.edu.au/"><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#002BF0"><i>http://www.groups.edna.edu.au</i></font></a><i> and</i></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><i>then to click on Register.
