Developing a Networked School
Community
A guide to realising the vision
Mal Lee and Glenn Finger
ACER Press 2010
In the 20th century, school was the place you went to learn; in the 21st
century, the prevalence of digital technologies means children learn things
at home which they don’t or aren’t allowed to at school. This makes
the relationship between school, home and the community even more
important than ever before. Schools need to recognise this and use it to
advantage. It is time for schools, educational leaders and bureaucrats to
overcome their fear of digital technologies and embrace the challenge and
opportunities they present.
This book is the first major work which defines and explores the concept
of the Networked School Community and details the challenges and
opportunities of its implementation from the perspective of the system,
the school, the teacher, the student, the home and the parent.

The Interactive Whiteboard Revolution
Teaching with IWBs
Chris Betcher and Mal Lee
ACER Press 2009
Interactive whiteboards are not just another classroom technology; they
have the potential to radically alter the way we learn and facilitate the
integration and ready use of all other digital technologies – hardware
and software. Just as the blackboard was the symbol and transformative
technology of the 18th century classroom, the interactive whiteboard will
be the centrepiece of the 21st century digital classroom.
The Interactive Whiteboard Revolution contains eight case studies of
leading educators talking about how they use IWBs and provides a wealth
of information on:
• getting your school started with IWBs;
• selecting the right IWB technology;
• principles and strategies for effective IWB teaching;
• lesson design and software tools; and
• professional development, training and support.
