Local Ecostudy Project

Last Updated (Thursday, 09 October 2008 22:49) Written by Administrator Wednesday, 07 July 2004 19:54

Our ability to care for our local environment requires us to know about the plants and animals that share their environment with us. This knowledge enables us to recognise changes as they occur over time and make judgements about whether the ecosystem is healthy or not. To sustain this endeavour, these projects connect with agencies within the school and beyond into the local community. Students are able to utilise a variety of mobile technologies to collect data and represent this information in a collaborative format.

Interactive Classrooms Project

As part of the Connected Classrooms Program, the Macquarie ICT Innovations Centre is providing expertise, services and resources to support schools as they participate in the Interactive Classrooms Project in the Northern Sydney region. Twenty schools from Round 1 and 21 schools from Round 2 of the implementation process have already started working on collaborative projects to connect their classrooms to a variety of virtual learning environments, other classrooms, experts in the field and students in schools across our state.

On Tuesday, 24th June all 202 schools from across the State that received their interactive classroom suite, attended the Connected Classroom Conference at the Novotel, Brighton-le-Sands. Keynote speakers, workshops and Regional planning was the focus for the day.
