This year we are targeting our Professional Development in a number of areas. We will attempt to provide training to support the ICT Pedagogical Licences as well as general ICT integration at all areas of education.  Additionally, we will develop sessions for IT specialists ranging from IPT,ITS and 9/10 computer studies to IT Managers.

Each term we will attempt to run sessions lead by professional training organisations as well as sessions run by local members and educators.

We will again keep costs to a minimum from free to members to simply covering costs.  Non members will be given the option to pay a discounted price to include 12 months membership.

General meetings with a guest presenter will be held on the following dates:
