What is #aussieED?

 #aussieED was founded on the belief that all teachers should have unlimited access to Professional Development, on their own terms, to improve their teaching, their schools and change the lives of the students they encounter. Since then, we have embarked on a mission to reach educators, not only in Australia but all around the globe. We want to smash the barriers that prevent teachers from easily connecting and learning with each other.

#aussieED is the largest online network of teachers in Australia. Members join twitter chats held every Sunday to discuss educational issues and undertake professional learning. #aussieED LIVE events are networking meetups of various scale. Our Professional Learning Partnership initiative aims to connect like-minded educators and industry experts in a learning relationship.
