This document outlines plans for an internal e-tour between schools in a cluster to view e-learning practices. Up to 5 teachers from each school will visit 3 other schools in the cluster and participate in 30 minute sessions to observe e-learning in literacy, numeracy, or inquiry. Schools will host sessions and provide lunch for visitors. The day is divided into morning and afternoon blocks with travel and lunch in between. The goal is to inspire teachers to apply e-learning knowledge and encourage others through peer observation visits within the cluster schools.
