Promethean
and European Schoolnet have announced the launch of the 'Best
MST Learning Resource Golden Prize' as part of eLearning Awards,
Europe's leading competition to reward excellence and best use
of technology in education. More than 700 schools and teacher
training institutions have registered to present their best projects
making use of ICT for teaching and learning. The winners will
be announced at a Prize-giving ceremony during the EMINENT 2009
Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania.
The
prize aims to recognise teachers' best learning resource or object
in the field of mathematics, science and technology (MST). Promethean
will offer the winner, selected by an international jury of experts,
a full ActivClassroom including Promethean's new interactive
whiteboard, Activboard
300 Pro with Dual Pen functionality and Integrated Speakers,
a full set of ActivExpression Learner Response Systems, and latest
specialised teaching software, ActivInspire 1.3. Promethean is
a global leader in interactive whiteboards
and education technology solutions with 100 countries benefiting
from its ActivClassroom products.
Marc
Durando, Executive director of European Schoolnet said: "The
eLearning Awards is a unique opportunity for schools and teacher
training institutions in Europe and beyond to demonstrate how
innovative they are and share with others their projects and ideas.
This year we introduced the publication of the eLearning Awards
entries on the Learning Resource Exchange, a library of learning
resources from 16 Ministries of Education and other content partners.
This will help raise further the visibility of teachers participating
in the eLearning Awards."
"Promethean
is pleased to be a sponsor of the eLearning Awards at the Eminent
conference and in particular the award for best Maths, Science
and technology
learning resource award. As the only large classroom technology
solutions vendor based in Europe, we are enthusiastic supporters
of co-operation within the EUN Schoolnet and have been actively
involved with both the Interactive Whiteboard working group and
the Learning Resource Exchange (LRE)", said Stephen Jury,
Head of Education Strategy at Promethean.
"Our
work in support of the European Ministries of Education who make
up EUN Schoolnet is part of our overall commitment to spread best
practices in teaching and learning to benefit opportunities for
young people and quality in our education systems," he added.
