World Teachers' Day - 25 October
Museums Victoria supports the amazing work of teachers across Victoria with programs and resources for teaching across the curriculum. Teachers also feature in many of our collections. A recent acquisition 'The Sunrise Collection' reveals how a small group of teachers were exploring the possibilities of computing in education in the 1980s. It is a fascinating example of teachers going the 'extra mile' to improve learning outcomes for students. Check out some of the collection and a film about it below.
