Development of Interactive Whiteboards in Bedfordshire Schools
All IWBs funded under the Becta Project were installed in schools by the end of May/beginning of June 2005.  This project has enabled us to put 108 interactive whiteboards in Bedfordshire schools.  Jeanette Mills worked with these project schools providing support and training.  If you have any IWB training needs please contact either Neil Turner or Jenny Harris at Russell House, Priory Park 01234 836000 or e-mail neil.turner@rhouse.co.uk or jenny.harris@rhouse.co.uk
