        *Embedding IWBs into the Curriculum*

     
    This hub has been designed for educators who are already using a
    Promethean interactive
    whiteboard, and want to further develop their skills and practices.
    The aim of the hub is to
    enable teachers to use IWB in designing engaging and rigorous
    learning experiences for their
    students. During the hub participants will develop an
    inter-disciplinary unit of work that
    incorporates rich IWB activities.


          Target audience

    Educators who work with students from Prep to Year 9, who have prior
    experience in using
    IWBs. This hub is best suited to participants who have already
    completed basic IWB training.
     
    Through the IWB Hub participants will:  

        *  Become familiar with the 5 levels of an IWB Continuum
        *  Use the IWB continuum to identify current skill levels and
          practice and set goals for improvement 
        *  Acquire new skills to enable more effective use of
          Interactive Whiteboard Technology.
        *  Embed IWB practice within an existing or current unit of work
        *  Explore the opportunities for innovative learning and
          teaching using IWBs
        *  Plan and teach an interdisciplinary unit of work integrating
          the use of the IWB
        *  Evaluate and share units with other colleagues
