FYIIDAM REGISTRATION & ULTRANET ACCESS

IDAM (Identity Access Management) is the way that your identity is authenticated and you gain access into the Ultranet. You can only complete IDAM Registration at school. You MUST register for IDAM before you can access the Ultranet. IDAM registration only needs to be completed ONCE.

(Craigieburn Primary is still to be deployed for the Ultranet)http://idam.education.vic.gov.au/firstuse and follow the instructions using your teacher number (same as Edumail email access) and your NEW COMPLEX 7 password.Once you have completed IDAM registration you will be able to access the Ultranet. http://www.ultranet.vic.edu.au and use your teacher number and NEW COMPLEX 7 password.

Think about your day to day activities that you complete as a teacher:

•Yard Duty

•Timetable

•Homework

•One on one teaching

•Individual learning plans

•Moderation & Assessment

•Planning with peers

•And many, many more...

Where do you think each of these day to day activities would ‘fit’ in

the Ultranet?

How could you use each of the spaces in the Ultranet to Collaborate, Create and

Communicate with your students, colleagues, school community

and the wider Victorian education community?

What wonderings do you have about the Ultranet so far?
