**Connected voices: connected learning**
//1.5 day workshop for the NT LearnScopers//

Here are [|some ideas] on how to use these tools in education

Over one and a half days we'll work through the process and spaces for becoming a connected individual within a network of VET practitioners. We'll explore the background trends and philosophy as well as models of VET program use. By the end of the workshop you and your team will be registered and connected to grow your learning network.
