Teachers across Victoria, Australia, will have the opportunity to participate in an extended professional development program on Civics and Citizenship Education in 2002. As part of this pd a module is being conducted on linking ICT with Civics and Citizenship Education. This hotlist provides teachers with easy access to key sites addressing Civics and Citizenship issues.
It is also intended to model to teachers the way in which online curriculum resources can be created easily by themselves using the 'web-and-flow' process.
