Sitech Champions School Conference 2010

This years Sitech Champions School Conference held in Wellington was excellent value for money and provided a huge variety of learning opportunities for teachers and leaders looking to develop and maximise their use of Interactive Whiteboard technology.
Breathe Technology (the educational training arm of Sitech Systems - follow the link) provided a range of workshops that catered for all levels of experience but it was the atmosphere of sharing and learning from each other that helped to underline the fact that we are all learners when it comes to ICT. The workshops were full of practical tips and not too large to enable questions, conversations and discussions. Hands on experiences were given to all delegates where possible.
Two teachers from school presented at the conference and the experience has certainly proved positive for them both. Being asked to present after only 6 months of IWB usage was a testament to their hard work and skills as teachers. However the gains in learning from the other delegates has also proved very worthwhile and has already impacted on their classroom practice.

Your staff who presented ROCKED!! or so I heard. Well done to them for taking the leap. Many other teachers benefited from their participation. Good Job.
