The Library staff are involved in online PD over a 13 week period from September to December. During this period staff will be completing 23 things that are examples of emerging technology. Commencing this interesting and sometimes challenging project are Karen, Natalie, David, Gavin, Jenni and Lyn. Others in the group might join us before the end of the year.
Week 1 saw us reading about the 23 things and learning a little more of these social networking tools. Week 2 found us registering with gmail and developing a blog which we have been asked to post 1 to 2 items per week for the 3 month period. During week 3 we all set up Google Reader and subscribed to some RSS feeds. The next 2 weeks (school holidays) will see us practicing what we have done, tweaking our work and perhaps galloping on ahead with other tasks or things.
We soon will be using Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, whilst launching into Second Life and tracking our progress on the PD wiki. Believe it or not, this is work!!!

OTLS Project Professional Development
A small group met at E2C at 9.30am on Tuesday 11th September to be introduced in a 2 hour session to DET's Online Project. Over 45 schools are involved in the ongoing trial to develop a system that can be rolled out to all schools by 2012.
Changes are being made weekly to the system to try to make it a viable system. MSC was represented by Tracy, Derek, Steve, Karen, Ben and Gavin. It is hoped that these people will be able to introduce other staff members to the system either in Term 4, 2007 or at the start of the 2008 year.
