Free iPad training from iTeach

As schools across Scotland are developing strategies for effective ways to use digital technology in Learning and Teaching – iTeach are here to help.

They can offer no-cost training to any schools who wish to look at making learning mobile, personal and powerful using iPads.

If your school have purchased iPads and would like to find ways of effectively using them in school – or if you are considering purchasing iPads they can support you with a number of planning and training sessions tailored to where you are and the vision that you have for your school.

iTeach work as education partners on the government procurement framework, their trainers are all teachers with local experience of Scottish education, and they are the largest educational training organisation in the UK.

In addition they support schools with free resources for coding through the ‘iCode’ initiative ( http://www.iteach-uk.com/programmes/icode)  and help to run effective student digital leaders programmes with ‘Digital Leaders’ ( http://www.iteach-uk.com/programmes/digital-leaders).

If you are interested in any or all of the above please contact Anna Millar, Region Manager for Scotland at anna@iteach-uk.com
