Adria is a Year 5-6 teacher at Westbreen Primary School in Victoria.

Westbreen Primary School is in Glenroy, in the Northern Metropolitan Region of Melbourne. It is a small school, with around 250 students. There are twelve interactive whiteboards (IWBs) – one in every classroom, from Prep to Year 6 – and they are networked.

When I joined the ANSN IWB Hub at the start of 2008, I had little experience of using an IWB – not much more than having had a “play” with it, really.

That initial contact had made me aware of some of the possibilities, however the hurdle to overcome was not knowing what I didn’t know! The challenge was to find out what IWBs could do and how my school and I could use them – and then develop the necessary skills.
