This year, QSITE was successful in its application for a 2024 Google Educator PD Grant to support teachers of Digital Solutions as they begin to implement the 2025 Digital Solutions syllabus.
The Google Educator PD Grant will allow QSITE to provide a number of free face-to-face workshops around the state. (Catering is included.) Each workshop will be a two-day workshop (Friday and Saturday) and will be presented by Richard Kelly. Richard is the Head of Department for Digital Technologies, Aviation and eLearning at Toowoomba State High School and Chair of the Toowoomba Chapter of QSITE. Richard’s contributions in the field of Digital Technologies Education have been recognised with a QSITE Outstanding Leader Award and an ACCE/ACS Leader of the Year award. Richard was also the presenter of the QSITE workshops held to support the implementation of the 2019 Digital Solutions syllabus.
Workshops will be held at four locations during Term 4 2024:
Townsville – Friday, 25 October and Saturday, 26 October
Brisbane – Friday, 1 November and Saturday, 2 November
Cairns – Friday, 15 November and Saturday, 16 November
Rockhampton – Friday, 22 November and Saturday, 23 November
(Venues for each location are in the process of being confirmed.)
In Term 1 of 2025, workshops will be held in these locations: Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Toowoomba.
We ask that you pass information about these workshops on to your colleagues who teach Digital Solutions but are not part of the QSITE network. The attached flyer is provided to assist you with this.
A big “thank you” to Richard for the expertise and time he will contribute to this project!
