This is a link to some recordings of questnet's presenters. Putting Larry Fruth with Evan Arthur was a stroke of genius. Institution vs user centric perspectives.

Hi everyone Wonder what the concensus is about the My School website in this group? Here is a snapshot of what the Principals think! http://www.abc.net.au/rn/lifematters/stories/2010/2857491.htm

I'm a bit late to the discussion, but I can talk about the NSW DET Connected Classrooms Project if anyone wants to know anything specific.

Comment Tony Searl  22 Jul 2008 
John Travers asked for a summary of the NSW CCP. I'm still curious if any other school systems are doing this on the same scale? 1) schools receive an installed video conference classroom, ultra short throw projector, iwb, computer, ancilliaries and software. 2200 schools at $20000 each install. 2) bandwidth upgrade 3) TaLe/Share/DET Interactive Tools and resources. The NSW DET portal has comprehensive information as does NSW Teaching and Learning Exchange(TaLe)
Comment Tony Searl  13 Jul 2008 
I am curious, are any other Australian states contemplating the NSW Connected Classroom Program? https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/strat_direction/schools/ccp/aboutccp/index.htm
Comment John Travers  24 Jun 2008 
Two snippets of news in The Australian today: NSW government schools getting computers under the NSSCP will have to get laptops. And NSW 1.5 million students are going to get a special version of Gmail as their mail service.
Comment John Travers  31 May 2008 
My blog post says this in a bit more detail, but isn't there a lack of appreciation that this initiative by the federal government a very good thing? (see links) Lack of computers has been a really major factor in not getting the benefits that the digital revolution promised for the last 15 years. It would be nice if we could focus more on the opportunities rather than the barriers.
Comment John Travers  15 Mar 2008 
The first round of schools has been approach to apply under the National Secondary Schools Computer Fund NSSCF by April 4th. The funds are only for computers (until the school reaches the 1:2 ratio) and schools or systems are responsible for networking, ISP, furniture, etc etc. So there will be substantial demands on school funds. Schools need a Strategic Plan and details of what is planned by April 4. What are the options, best approaches? One significant system has decreed that no desktop computers can be purchased under the scheme!
Comment John Travers  21 Feb 2008 
The Julia Gillard interview [links] is interesting from a couple of points of view. 1, that the media are picking up on the notion of "your promised a computer for every kid" and 2. that she seems to be saying "yes, but the specifics of how it happens is up to the school"
Comment Kerrie Smith  7 Feb 2008 
I've just put up a blog post where I've pointed people to the Digital revolution website and talked about what I see as some of the issues. http://url.edna.edu.au/j4Vt I think there are elements, in school infrastucture for example, that the funding round won't address. You might like to add comments to my blog.
