Today Sandra, Kathryn, Rebecca, Judy and I visited St. Bernadette’s at Castle Hill to see Interactive Whiteboards in action.
While each member of this team has an interactive whiteboard in their room, we really haven’t had much opportunity (if at all) to see others use them in the classroom.
The team at St. Bernadette’s were very welcoming and happy to share their experiences with us. The principal, Ted Langford, was my teacher when I was in Year 3 (almost twenty years ago now – sorry, Ted), and from his initiatives to introduce computers to my primary school back in the 80’s through to today, he’s very much committed to providing the best contemporary tools to support quality teaching and learning.
Our team has learnt a lot of great ideas. They’ve also had a great opportunity to see how another school approaches education, and how technology is used in a tool in the teaching-learning cycle.
