Your Stories – Holy Spirit Northern Territory

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Susie Barber

In Term 1 2018, classroom teacher Emma McDonald borrowed a CSER Lending Library Bee Bot Kit for the Transition to Year 2 classes at Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School in Darwin. Over the term Emma has been working closely with other teachers in the school as they observed her teaching small groups of students on how to learn about shapes and letters through using Bee Bots.

During Term 2, CSER Digital Technologies Project Officer, Sue Carter, will be working with the school as the staff extend their Digital Technologies journey. We look forward to hearing more about their experiences! Thanks for sharing the photos with us!

If you would like to share your experience with using the CSER Lending Library kits please contact us via cser@adelaide.edu.au.

It was great to meet so many educators at EduTECH in Sydney last week. Professor Katrina Falkner and Dr Rebecca Vivian ran a full day masterclass and three seminars during the event. The CSER team also hosted a stand in the exhibitors hall where we met educators from across Australia.

It was wonderful to hear so many of your stories and experiences about implementing the digital technologies curriculum into your respective school settings. We were also delighted to introduce so many new people to the CSER MOOCs, professional development workshops and lending library and we look forward to working with you in the future.
