Languages PL via Adobe Connect 

28/7/2016

0 Comments

 
The Languages and Culture Team (Secondary Education) facilitated professional learning to two networks of languages teachers on the Term 3 Staff Development Day.
 
The Adobe Connect web conferencing platform was used to provide relevant and engaging presentations to North Coast and Nirimba languages teachers.
 
The Language Officers presented short sessions on the DoE priorities, curriculum, legislative and state office updates, differentiation, collaborative and digital tools. Teachers were given time for group discussion in between each presentation to conceptualise the content into their school contexts.   
 
The positive feedback from participants provided evidence that teachers felt supported and inspired to introduce a new technique or digital tool into their teaching.

“I just wanted to let you know how fantastic the day at Orara High was yesterday. Jody Newhouse and Jeff James were great facilitators and the day ran very professionally. The two Language Officers and their presentation via Adobe Connect were very successful. I found the information, discussion and hands on use of ICT was invaluable for my PDP. As forward-moving teachers we need to constantly be updated and work regularly with our collegiate to ensure we maintain an optimum learning environment.”

  • “An excellent day and chance to see other LOTE teachers. We are so isolated in the schools.”

  • “What am amazing day - can we do this again?!?”

  • “Downloading the presentation was an extremely useful resource.”
 
The Adobe Connect platform has great potential to bring languages teachers (and students) closer together and foster collaboration and opportunities for mentoring across NSW.  
 
The Term 3 state-wide Adobe Connect session will take place in Week 4 on Wednesday 10 August from 3.30-4.00pm. We hope many languages teachers can join this term’s webinar, especially North Coast and Nirimba teachers who now realise how simple it is to participate.
 
Simply, go to the Secondary Languages Adobe Connect meeting room, https://connect.schools.nsw.edu.au/secondarylanguages and log in using your DoE username followed by @detnsw and your normal password.

Important information about study tours - a message from DE International

20/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Study tours and sister schools
All study tours into NSW government schools are centrally booked through DE International. Learn more by visiting www.studytours.nsw.edu.au

If you are contacted directly by an agent, organisation or overseas group (student or adult) wishing to visit your school (unless through your school's sister school relationship), please forward the request to the Study Tours team.

Sister school visits are reciprocal and non-commercial, and do not need to go through DE International. However, if your school is offered payment for hosting a group, contact the Study Tours team. Where the sister-school relationship includes mostly hosting the overseas school, then the visit by the overseas group should also be arranged as a study tour through DE International.

The policy and guidelines for overseas student and group visits, as well as a sample MOU for sister schools can be found at:
https://detwww.det.nsw.edu.au/policies/student_admin/enrolment/overseas-student-prog/implementation_1_PD20130457_i.shtml?query=overseas+groups

Hosting
DE International is always looking for new schools to host overseas groups, particularly homestay programs. Please contact the Study Tours team if you'd like to be involved.
