• Core business is a strategic focus on learning
  and teaching

Strategic Leadership of ICT

• Enable leaders to
• develop their understanding of the use of ICT for
  improving school effectiveness
• develop their understanding of the role of ICT in
  improving teaching, learning and pupils
  achievements, both in ICT capability and when
  using ICT as a tool in other subjects
• develop their own ICT capability in order to
  improve their personal productivity, in relation
  to their leadership roles
• have information, time and space to review and
  develop their vision for ICT and its role in
  relation to their schools

Feedback from Principals

• Web site officially launched in April 2002
• Currently in use by principals
• Some feedback
• good to have a website designed with principals
  in mind...
• the quicklinks section is helpful and means we
  dont have to exit Leadspace to go to, say, the
  Education Gazette
• Leadspace and what is possible means a real
  shift in my thinking I need to think electronic
  possibilities
• e-net is a fabulous concept for us remote rural
  principals because now we can share ideas and
  think nationally instead of locally. I can
  connect with people I met on The Education
  Course.

Future Plans

• Raise level of discussion to reflective sharing
  of good practice
• Add more services (admin tools areas)
• Apply learnings to other sectors
• Would like to include other govt agencies to the
  same audience portals (improve interoperability)
