Who are we?
JTP innovative learning started because we wanted to bring quality professional development to teachers. Because we are teachers we know how frustrating it can be when you go to a PD and feel like you have wasted your time and money. We aim to offer you the high quality, user-friendly, understanding and informative professional development sessions for information technology. Whether you are a total newcomer to technology or are already starting to create and use wikis or blogs, we aim to support you on the road to better teaching through ICT. Please contact us for a chat about what you or your school needs. We always customise our sessions to suit your individual situation.
