Regular webinars

Our regular webinars are typically held monthly and are specifically designed for members of the Be Connected Network. Come along to learn more about our programs and how to support people to learn digital skills. We also run helpful and interactive sessions about CaptureIT so you know what to do when it comes time to report on your grants.

Our regular webinars are best viewed live as we have a number of interactive components and include information about our active programs and grants. Due to this, we are unable to offer recordings of these sessions.

Join this interactive webinar to learn about Good Things Foundation's Be Connected Network! You will find out more about the digital divide and how you can take action to support digitally excluded people in your community.

This webinar is perfect for people getting started with Be Connected and our other digital skills programs. We will help you get familiar with all the supports available to start your programs and answer any questions you may have.

Community of Practice: Kids and Digital Mentors

I.T. Lady has been the recipient of a number of Be Connected Grants including Digital Devices, Digital Mentors and Capacity Builder Grants. Through a combination of these programs they’ve been able to develop a hospital iPad lending program which is in it’s testing Phase on Ward 8C at Royal North Shore hospital with great success and enormous future potential.

They’ve also trained 109 digital mentors who are all students from 3 schools – Mitchel High School in Blacktown, North Sydney Boys and North Sydney Girls High Schools.

"The most inspiring thing about running both of these programs is the enjoyment and sense of achievement that the younger students, and my younger staff get from visiting and working with older people to help them feel comfortable with technology. I’m looking forward to spending some time with you all to discuss our processes and outcomes and the continuing work."
