Details
The Schools Innovation Projects Initiative (SIPI) promotes research and fosters understanding of how new technologies support academic excellence and student success. SIPI leverages a “network of networks”, including tools and practices that will collaboratively increase efficiency and capacity for high-quality learning engagement. Facilitated through the Learning Futures Network, SIPI provides a framework for innovation leadership originating from ongoing teaching practice, and adds value through providing a platform for engagement across participating schools and organisations, as well as giving teachers a platform to collaborative author professional practice reports to disseminate knowledge, and assist teachers, school leaders and others approaching innovative and transformative practices in their schools. Currently there are several active project groups considering Extended Reality, Sustainability, Space Science and Astronomy, Robotics, and 7 other priority areas.
