An intensive teacher training course to develop your IWB teaching skills.

Overview

Are you a primary school teacher interested in joining an ever growing group of teachers who are revolutionizing the way in which students learn in their classrooms?

Would you like to develop your Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) skills to provide your students with the fantastic educational opportunities that IWBs bring to the teaching and learning process?

Digital technology and IWBs have a key role to play in 21st century schools to support teaching, learning, administration and management and as a result all staff need to be confident users of a wide range of resources. All kinds of technology are moving at a faster pace than we can keep up. Therefore, teachers need to regularly update their knowledge, skills and pedagogy. All educators need to have relevant skills to ensure they optimize the benefits of an interactive whiteboard in their classroom.
