Thinking outside of the normal paradigm
If you had of said DMSC would be piloting a trial of cricket coaching using video conferencing for Cricket Victoria and Cricket Australia in a biology room in 2007, well I would have said……………………..
Opportunities are created everyday, the key is to take the right ones which will benefit your school and your community.
![Page 36: Developing Community Capacity through the use of ICT Rob Pyers, Principal, Dimboola Memorial Secondary College Integrating new technologies to empower](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551a01825503462e378b4942/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What you can take away from today?
Some questions, some views and perhaps a new outlook
What differences would be made to your school with a new approach?
What opportunities could open up for your staff and students and their learning if we looked at things in a different light?
The best way to gain support like most things is to give it!
![Page 37: Developing Community Capacity through the use of ICT Rob Pyers, Principal, Dimboola Memorial Secondary College Integrating new technologies to empower](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551a01825503462e378b4942/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What you can take away from today 2?
Think about what you can do?
Look at resources as being an investment.
What benefit do you gain from giving and supporting?
Look at options outside of education.
Be prepared to be surprised where it may take you!
