16. Debra Hicks Connect…to a space just for you… The Connect web site links school students, teachers and principals to online resources that have been recommended and reviewed by educators. It is an Internet White List. The Connect site is a Portal website that links to local and international educational web pages. Some schools choose to restrict their students to the Connect site as their only view of the Internet. This may be because they feel it is safer online environment for their students and/or it reduces Internet costs. Connect has a Teacher, Early Childhood, Primary Student and Secondary Student portal. Make it your students home page! http://www.education.vic.gov.au/connect/

20. Debra Hicks Time for Reflection… Effective leaders in an online world understand the transformative potential of ICT. They use their skills in the creation of new learning environments, in the appropriate and purposeful integration of ICT in learning, and in high-level management and communication processes. In these ways leaders are proactive in creating productive 21st century schools. “Leadership Strategy” MCEETYA 2006
