The Australia Series is a professional learning opportunity that has been developed by Steve Hargadon and a group of Australian educators.
Providing free access to online professional learning and conferencing via Elluminate, all sessions will be held in Australian-friendly times and offer topics that are relevant to Australian teachers.
Accessed via the LearnCentral Australia Series group, the aim is to have (at least) weekly Elluminate sessions. If you join the LearnCentral Australia Series group, you can join discussions, add your own events and see what other events are planned and use links provided to enter the Elluminate sessions. Of course you do not have to ‘attend’ all scheduled sessions. You can select sessions that are relevant or appeal to you and those that fit into your schedule. (Remember to keep a note of all sessions ‘attended’ for teacher registration purposes.)
This professional learning resource is highly recommended and is freely available to all Australian educators. (Please note you will need to have Java installed on the computer you are using as well as a headset for communication in Elluminate).

Neat resource, anyone know if there is something similar happening in the US?
In our planning meeting Steve Hargadon mentioned a ‘librarians’ series in the US. No other details, sorry.

Hi,
Will you be able to view recordings of these sessions and if so where do I go to find the links?
Yes, should be available via the LearnCentral Australia Series group. Thanks.
