Following her use of MiLK, Janelle Williams has been awarded an ICT Pedagogical License. The license acknowledges teachers who effectively integrate ICT into teaching and learning. It is an initiative of the Queensland Government’s Smart Classrooms strategy and is a key component of the Smart Classrooms Professional Development Framework. The development framework aims to give incentives for teachers to improve their use of ICT and provides a guide for planning enhanced student and professional learning with ICT. Janelle’s use of MiLK was a large component of her application to be awarded the license. When reflecting on her experience with MiLK, she said “the relationships I strengthened with my students are perhaps the thing that I found the most powerful about the project”.

It is a real treat to know that MiLK is helping teachers build expertise and develop closer relationships with their students.

From the MiLK team, Congratulations Janelle!!
