Loisath-My ICT Journey

These are my brief notes from TeachMeetMelb#2. It was a great PD session thanks to Aimee Gale who hosted the meeting and all of the presenters. Presentations were either 2 mins or 7 mins long – just long enough for you to find out if you want to investigate further.

You can watch most of the presentations on the Wiki
