2009

• Goals for 2009

ECTA will host four videolinq workshops in 2009:

The program of workshops to be videoconferenced in 2009 are negotiated in partnership with the School of Early Childhood at QUT and the Children's Services section of the TAFE Open Learning (TOL). All workshop topics and dates have been confirmed.

ECTA members are invited to attend. A flyer is emailed to all about one month before each session and details are posted on the website at the same time. An invitation is later extended to other Early Childhood professionals working with young children, TAFE Children's Services students, Early Childhood QUT students and QLD Health staff.

All sessions will be broadcast from the TOL Boardroom (cnr Cordelia & Peel Sts - South Brisbane). ECTA will also try to accommodate as many people as possible in a range of other locations across Queensland. All workshops will be recorded and made available as DVDs for ECTA members. They will also be made available to TOL and QUT students through their libraries.

Please support ECTA and make the most of the opportunity to participate in this FREE professional development.

The pages below indicate videolinq dates. As the date for each workshop approaches details are added including the registration form. Reports from each workshop, including handouts may be added once the workshop has ocurred.

Goals for 2009

• Provide ECTA membership forms and advertising at each venue
• Consider links with other universities (QUT given option to continue shared delivery)
• Seek member feedback on the use and value of the DVD's
• Survey members - what do they value as members

• 
  Feedback from participants.
  ECTA always welcomes feedback about our videolinq program.
  
  Here's what one member had to say about ECTA's videolinq program for 2009:
  "Many thanks again for offering this great PD. It is greatly appreciated. Our service (my assistant and myself), wouldn't miss it - always topical and current, always thought provoking and relevant, and offers the opportunity to network with a wide variety of early childhood arenas. Thank-you for taking the time, effort and interest. For those of us who live in regional areas, accessing PD can be excruciatingly difficult; we appreciate your accessibility, support and understanding. With warm regards and high esteem, Barb"
  
  Thanks for your feedback Barb.
