Implications

• Educators are more willing to apply online or interactive multimedia applications within their training delivery.
• Feedback from participants has encouraged educators to explore further applications of ICT.
• There is general consensus that remote Indigenous participants enjoy and feel stimulated to learn via ICT applications.

Professional Development Goal

Increase my understanding of appropriate methods of education for remote Indigenous communities and to explore the role of the Chief Information Officer role in order to facilitate effective Knowledge Management systems.

Strategies

• Conference Attendance
• Forum Participation
• Networking and Liaison

Outcomes

I intend to exchange my FLL learning experience to my peers and colleagues to make the learning experience of our participant's valuable, stimulating and most importantly to enhance life long leaning to improve community outcomes!

Summary of Learning

I have had the opportunity to meet with an array of interesting, innovative people who are delivering quality education which incorporates flexible methodology.
I have had the opportunity to trial applications such as:

• Skype: Software that facilitates telephone conversation across the Internet
• Blogs: Personal or project-related websites that users update regularly
• Amplify: Amplify is a FREE toolbar that gives you the power to FIND, COLLECT, SAVE & SHARE content (including pictures, text, video, animation, and audio) from multiple online sources in personalized pages called Amps – rather like a digital scrapbook.

I have been taking the time to look at various multimedia applications and resources.

• Text and hypertext
• Images
• Audio
• Video
• Combined media
• Animation
• Interactivity
• PowerPoint/MovieMaker
• Media on the web (Web Delivery)
• Media on CD ROMs
• Online discussion forums
