Catholic Learning Online Events 2021
Following the success of the Catholic Learning Online initiative in 2020, the team of eLearning specialists from CEnet member dioceses has been busy planning events for 2021.
February 18 starts with the first of two sessions to be provided by Seesaw to support the CEnet member dioceses introducing Seesaw into schools.
While Seesaw supports schools and dioceses with professional learning on a fee-for-service basis, these courses will be delivered at no charge as a result of the group purchase coordinated by CEnet on behalf of fourteen member dioceses.
February 18 also sees the commencement of the Apple Teacher iPad program, which is based on a successful model run in Wollongong diocese in 2020.
An Apple Teacher Mac program will commence in March.
This year's 5 day online summit coordinated by members of the CEnet eLearning Working Group to support teachers in member dioceses will commence on Monday 12 April. Be sure to save the date!
Rounding out the series of currently planned events is the Google Fundamentals series commencing on 27 May.
