impact and strategic objectives |
| Our
training models focus on ensuring classroom impact by directly
meeting teachers' needs and supporting their creativity.
At the same time we have enabled governments and NGOs to
make progress towards their long-term strategic goals through
local capapcity-building, and are helping software and media
providers to reach and develop new markets. |

| Clients
from all sectors |
| Our
clients in this area include USAID, Microsoft, British Council,
the EU, Channel 4 TV, British Telecom and British Airways. |

Partners in Learning |
| We
have been closely involved in the Partners in Learning program
since 2004. In partnership with Microsoft's education managers
we conceptualised and then developed an intensive training
package which effectively kick-starts progress in the integration
of ICT across the curriculum from any given starting point.
Key to the training package were a module for school managers,
leaders and principals, and a unit to support a cascade
model for disseminating expertise and good practice rapidly
and widely. |
|
| Having
developed the training program, we were subsequently asked
to initiate delivery of the course ourselves in a number
of countries during the last twelve months, in Europe, the
Middle East and Africa. |

Council NENA Project |
| The
British Council's NENA (Near East & North Africa) Regional
ICT Project is the first major initiative of its kind to
be undertaken by the UK's leading international education
NGO. The project aims to inform long-term strategic thinking
and develop lasting partnerships across the governments
of the Middle East in the field of ICT in education. We
have been contracted to develop and deliver a teacher training
program for Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Egypt,
together with a supporting series of follow-up events to
ensure local classroom impact and sustainability. |
|
| Our
training model is proving instrumental towards local capacity-building
by enabling teachers to deliver training themselves to their
colleagues. The long-term findings of the project will also
inform regional government planning for the coming years.
In addition, our recent training session in the West Bank
constituted the first event of the Palestinian Education
Initiative, a venture with similar aims to the Jordanian
Education Initiative in which we are also involved. |

4 TV Digital Video Project |
| Imagine
Education has held a long and active interest in the potential
educational uses of video, going back to the days of VHS
tapes, clumsy camcorders and awkward editing techniques.
Last year we approached Channel 4 TV, the UK's leading independent
producer of educational TV, to discuss ways in which we
could collaborate in the field of digital video as a classroom
tool. |
|
|
| The
outcome is to be a series of seminars and training events
in 2006 which will enable teachers to use digital video
more confidently themselves, and also provide opportunities
for their pupils to use this technology. We are very excited
by concepts of visual literacy and their potential in global
contexts. Channel 4 share our enthusiasm and are keen to
explore the potential development of new markets in the
field of education. |
