If your school participates in the project, you will get free professional development with CRT support to learn about using the tool and also to support you to develop learning sequences and activities in specific VELS domains and levels. The project commences in July, 2009. See: Pictures of the Floating World - Education For more information about this project contact: innovation@edumail.vic.gov.au
