**1)** **To date, how have you used the money your division received for K-8 teachers' LwICT professional learning i** ** n 2008-09 and 2009-10? ** Provide 2 half day LwICT mentor sessions. One day Mimio training for about 20 teachers. Will offer an session in spring 2010. Brought in Ian Jukes to speak to all our teachers.

Teachers have networked to learn about: mimio, smart board, epearl, website sharing, wikispaces, google docs. We have found that small group dynamics, sharing ideas work the best for professional learning.
 * 2) What professional learning is occurring now because of the extra funding that you previously not able to do?**
 * 3) Does your division have any strategies for ongoing professional learning (For example: Professional Learning Community - online, face-to-face, mentors, etc?)**

The half day mentorship in your own building works very well.

Transition to Senior Years
Our division is at the beginning stages. Exploring using the format that K-8 used in their implementation. All schools are starting to go with mobile laptops to enable classroom access. Uncertain at this point. We do have an LwICT committee that will look at different strategies for ongoing support.
