The next one hundred.

From early adopter to statewide practice. The Internet is here to stay.

1995 was a hugely successful year for our plans of bringing online technologies and online communities to the routine practice of every Victorian Classroom teacher.

Two unsolicited quotes from teachers in our project:

Joining the "Global Classroom Project" has been the best thing I've done in teaching.

A great concept and deserves to not only be followed up in 1996 but in fact be extended to include even more schools in not only Australia but in fact the world.

We plan to do exactly this. Let's revisit this commitment in five years from now and see what has become of the plan..
