In 2006, all teaching staff across the primary and secondary campuses are participating in the Computers for Teachers Program, a Smart Classrooms initiative of Education Queensland. Each teacher at Chancellor College will be given a laptop as part of the trial.

A training and professional development program is currently being developed by Education Queensland to support all teachers who will be involved in the Computers for Teachers Trial.

Chancellor College will also strengthen its current ICT support and training for staff, including

• setting up informal networks of teachers to share ICT skills

• in-service  about how to incorporate new technologies into teaching programs and classrooms

• in-service on using the laptops for administrative purposes

• in-service aimed at developing best-practice in pedagogy from Prep to Senior Years.
