eLearning Teachers of Prep Program
The eLearning Program for Teachers of Prep provides an opportunity for teachers to take part in the 2013 IBM KidSmart project, a partnership between IBM Australia and the Department of Education, Training and Employment.
The program is specifically designed to support schools in low socio-economic areas that have high proportions of students with:
- an Indigenous background
- disabilities
- English as a second language
- refugees.
Schools have been selected to participate in the 2013 IBM KidSmart project and will receive the IBM Young Explorer Learning Centre which includes:
- one IBM computer, monitor, headset and printer
- a Little Tikes workstation
- IBM Young Explorer software suite of programs.
Learning intentions
The program seeks to support teachers to:
- make ICT visible in curriculum planning documents and classroom practice
- share expertise through local learning stories and mentoring of teachers within the region

- building or engaging teachers in educational leadership of ICT in prep years.
