Program objectives

The Notebook for Teachers Program is an integral component of the Education to
Community (e2c) initiative, supporting learning technologies in the K-12 government
education community in WA.
It is designed to support schools and teachers in achieving their mutual professional
goals. The portability of notebook computers allows for a wide range of educational
opportunities and strategies to be explored, with the ultimate aim of improving outcomes
for students.
Participation in the program is voluntary and should only be undertaken after careful
consideration of how the introduction of this technology can be integrated into the
individual school's plan.
The objectives of this training are to:
§
Provide an introduction to the notebook, the operating system, and the applications.
§
Help you to become familiar with basic operations of the notebook.
§
Assist you with setting up the notebook for internet access from home and your
school.
More details about e2c can be found on the internet at:

Teachers web site.
A number of DET (Department of Education and Training) policies directly
relate to the safe-keeping of work-related information and appropriate use of
corporate applications such as e-mail and internet access. More details on
these and other DET policies are available on the Regulatory Framework CD.
An updated copy of this CD is sent to all schools each term.
