1 INTERACTIVE CLASSROOMS PROJECT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES – where to from here?

2 Promethean Software Training Gayle and Kathy will deliver the Phase 1 training. All schools will have personnel trained in: Activstudio, Activprimary software. Video conferencing equipment. Bridgit.

3 THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM The software is not difficult to use, and it will certainly be an excellent tool for the enhancement of many teaching and learning experiences The final software package going out to schools has been customised to meet the needs of our system. Catering to Panasonic “stylus” boards and Smart “finger” boards. Promethean boards – experience unchanged. Interwrite boards will also work with this software. The software will be unique to the DET

4 Training – What is going to be available Learning Systems Team (Gayle and Kathy) will be delivering the first phase of training to schools and DET consultants The next phase of training will be curriculum and/or stage specific This will be determined by Regions Possibly training will be developed and delivered by the curriculum and ICT consultants with the support from the Learning Systems team.

5 Phase 1 training A DET Registered course. The focus will be on using the software as a tool to enhance T&L. Not necessarily to replace existing practice. It is will be a 2.5 day course on the Activstudio/Primary software, using the boards in the classroom, video conferencing, encompassing the basics of use with curriculum connections. Hands on experiences. Participants are requested to bring along a notebook computer. LS team would like to provide a variety of flexible configurations of delivery - TBC These might include: 2.5 intensive days, spreading the 2.5 days over 2 or 3 weeks, breaking up the modules and spreading them over several weeks. TBA

6 Phase 1 training continued It may be useful to spread the training over a few weeks to enable participants to consolidate their learning in between sessions. If possible Gayle and I will train simultaneously across the region and link up parts of the training via Video Conferencing – team teaching some modules. Nothing has been finalised. Suggestions and views would be greatly appreciated. This training will not commence until term 3, after week 3. Participants to the course will be requested to have first completed the Promethean online free Level 1 Foundation Skills course. On the 24th June all the first phase school principals and their learning partners will be attending a conference. Training details should be finalised by then.
