The programme will revolve around the key change issues that confront the WWW participants who will:
discuss and refine the WWW vision for transforming teaching using ICT
plan sustainable strategies to use ICT as a catalyst for change
articulate the issues, the benefits and the challenges
plan the ways in which their school will achieve their vision
prepare written resources for reports and inspections
