For the last 2 years the Australian National Schools Network has been facilitating a new professional learning program for teachers focusing on the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom. Over 200 teachers have taken part in the program since 2006 and participants gain a wealth of technical knowledge as well as taking part in the pedagogical discussions around the question “How do interactive whiteboards improve teacher pedagogy and student learning outcomes?”

During August and September we would like to give you and your school the opportunity to attend an information session to learn more about the Interactive Whiteboard program being offered again in 2009. It will be a one hour session to be held in the Eastern, Northern, Southern and Western regions of Victoria. Details of where the regional sessions will be held are attached for your information. The purpose is to demonstrate the potential of Interactive Whiteboards in the classroom, explain in further detail the professional learning program being offered and to give you and your school the opportunity to join the ANSN IWB project for 2009.

This project will also give your school the opportunity to purchase Promethean Activ boards at a reduced price negotiated by the ANSN as well as the chance to participate in a comprehensive 5 day professional development training program which will be spread throughout 2009.

I have attached our IWB brochure for your information and if you would like to attend any of our invitational sessions please fill in the registration form and send your name via return email or fax at (03) 9367 9354. If you have any other queries please feel free to contact Andrea Federico.
