Part of our Back to Professional Learning Together series, this 2-4pm afternoon workshop is for teachers able to dip their toes back into face-to-face PL in Term Two 2022.

Digital technology can give English teachers options that they never had before. Digital tools allow students to engage with material in a new and different ways. It can be used to provide more variety and transparency on assessment tasks.

Carolyn and Catherine will provide English teachers with a range of examples and demonstrate how technologies can be integrated into the English classroom.
