Each year SET-BC supports a small number of Synergy Classroom projects. These are provincially coordinated and different from the Tier 2 classroom-based solutions that are supported through our standard service delivery model. For information on Tier 2 Classroom-based solutions, refer to the Service Delivery area of our website.
Purpose of Synergy Classroom Projects
To assist classroom teachers and school-based teams utilize learning technologies to provide curricular access and meaningfully include all students in the classroom environment.
We invite classroom teachers and school-based teams to apply for consultation, training, and technology support for curriculum based projects that explore the use of technology to realize students’ learning goals. Teachers interested in submitting an application for support should refer to the information and guidelines posted each year in late spring.
The focus and number of provincially coordinated Synergy Classroom Projects vary from year to year. BC school teams are welcome to submit applications for project support for the coming school year in the spring. All supported project teams report on the implementation of the technology in their classroom through classroom blogs and activity reports. Rich information and classroom strategies can be found by visiting the projects from past years.
