[LINK] Free Digital Technologies Course for Teachers

[Tom Worthington]

Brenda Aynsley OAM FACS, President of the Australian Computer Society, 
pointed out in The Australian last week that free on-line courses are 
now available for teachers, to help them with the new Digital 
Technologies component of the Australia curriculum:

The courses are run by the Computer Science Education Research Group 
(CSER) at the University of Adelaide. The next course starts 1 May 2015:

One of the most useful aspects I have found of such courses is to remind 
me how hard it is to be a student. Also it is useful for teachers to 
familiarize themselves with how on-line courses are run, as this will be 
the way they will teach their students in the future.
