Today captured in many ways the path we have walked since Fall 2007 in supporting teachers with IWB’s and tablets. Believing that technology, whatever that may be, can only be used successfully as a tool for integration if dedicated professional development is attached, we gathered a group of teachers together, with a complete range of experiences. From our initial meeting, then on-site release time, and to our final reflections today, a dedicated and diverse group showed a commitment to collaborate and connect. A Professional Learning Network is a dynamic and organic entity, and ours has ebbed and flowed, but in the end has grown in numbers, has a commitment to sustainability, and has a mandate to facilitate other teachers with like technology throughout the system. Must tell you, it was all pretty cool!
Keep an eye out for videos, lesson templates, learning objects and personal reflections in the Interactive Whiteboard conference on Commun-IT http://www.commun-it.org/community/whiteboards/files/
My thanks to all my colleagues who gave their time and dedication to this project.
