All teachers are learners - All learners are teachers

Hi All,

As a few readers of my blog might be aware I have started a new job this week.  My new position is at Edsoft working as an Interactive Whiteboard Specialist across Australia.   I am extremely excited about the opportunities this position brings.  I really believe we need to make a shift when schools are purchasing IWB’s.  The push needs to move from “what tricks can the board do?” to “what professional learning is provided with my IWB?” and “who from and how much support will I get ?”  I am hoping to make that change that I wanted when I was purchasing IWB’s at my previous schools.

Anyway enough about my new job, to support teachers who have or want Interactive Whiteboards I have created a group on diigo called Interactive Whiteboard Pedagogy.  It is my hope that we can build this group to be a place for rich discussion and support for all interactive whiteboard users.

I have started a discussion on the group website regarding the different changes and stages of IWB practice that are occurring in schools.  I would love group members to add their views on what practices are currently occurring in schools.

I look forward to  collaborating with fellow IWB users and enthusiasts
