AT on tour with the Promethean bus

Next week,  the Special Education Assistive Technology Team hosts six Informational Sessions aboard the Promethean Bus to provide information about the technology and support available for the SEA IWB Classrooms for 2012-13.

Schools already determined as receiving SEA IWB systems are invited to attend one of  these sessions to be held on June 5 and 6. The session will be hosted on the bus and provide either a school administrator or designate teacher - the teacher receiving the group claim IWB for the upcoming year. On the bus, participants will be given information about the Promethean board system they will be receiving as well as information about the Learning Community Sessions that teachers will be expected to attend next year. 

Due to space limitations, a maximum of 2 people from each school are able to attend.

Please note coverage is not provided for the sessions. If your school/classroom is eligible see Key to Learn to register.
