second semester unit of study for all secondary candidates in first

pre-service teacher education qualifications should address 6
Mandatory Areas of study, of which Literacy Education is one. This
component of the Options 1 course unit will consist of 6 lectures
and associated tutorials, many of which will be on-line tutorials
which are designed to develop student skills in Information and
Communication Technology literacies (ICT is another of the DET's 6
Mandatory Areas for teacher education courses). These classes are
