The MTA schools themselves are looking forward to the challenge of creating productive and positive experiences for the schools which choose to come along to their sessions . It will undoubtedly be a two-way learning process .
Shireland ’ s Alan Crawford confirms this ,
‘ As a teaching school we know that getting training from those that actually teach and use the technology is invaluable in that it gives real life examples of the benefits of our environment .
Our Academy is excited to be opening its doors to others that want to come and see what we do but ultimately have a passion for making a difference in their own school . Change is difficult but achievable !’
