Modifying the A-D and F-2 Digital Technologies curriculum for a range of abilities.

For the first time, DLTV (Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria) and AASE Vic (Australian Association for Special Education Victorian Chapter) are partnering to showcase the potential of the digital technologies on meeting a range of abilities in the classroom.
We are proud to announce a series of "hands on" DigiTech workshops focused on differentiating DigiTech instructions for levels A-D and F-2 to regional Victorian educators. The cost is minimal thanks to a generous grant from Google.
