The Pittwater House Schools will make e-learning mobile by enabling pupils to engage with their studies from anywhere using the Apple iPhone as a connection point and our 2010 Form 10 Students will be the pilot group for this exciting project.
Designer note: this is the passing on of knowledge. This slide could show a sea of people with one highlighted in the middle (the trainer), then more people around start highlighting (teachers) and more and more people on the page highlight (students) until the whole page is full of highlighted people – thus communicating the knowledge being shared amongst people. Speaker note: To ensure our teachers are capable of mentoring all the pupils in using MyHouse effectively, we have engaged Mrs Nneka Robinson from our US sister school, the Woodward Academy – who will be working full time for 6 months to facilitate our teacher training program.
