 * ABOUT THE PRESENTER**

VITTA PLNs are regional professional learning networks to support the teaching and learning of ICT K-12 throughout Victoria and beyond. These learning communities encourage sharing of skills and ideas about ICT and education. Their key role is to increase the amount of ICT professional learning available to teachers/educators in a particular region. Their direction will be dependent on the needs and interests of those involved in the group. Generally, they will be set up in areas where there is limited or no other ICT professional learning opportunities.
 * What are Professional Learning Networks?**

Suitable for all teachers P-12 They cater for teachers from a variety of settings [Kindergarten, Primary, Post-Primary, Special, TAFE] and systems [Government, Non-Government]. VITTA PLNs are open to all, [not just VITTA members]. Teachers from around Australia and beyond have responded positively to building professional learning networks. Teachers now can contact the VITTA Professional Learning Office for details about proposed meeting times, activities or provide some information about your professional learning needs.
