Professional Development
We've developed a wide range of educational technology workshops to support professional development for teachers, staff and schools. We offer in-house workshops along with onsite half day, full day and twilight sessions.
Technology PD for teachers
Teachers and educators are aware of the need for students today to develop digital literacy, as well as for digital technologies to be integrated into the classroom and curriculum.
Facilitating this digital integration surpasses the provision of technology and devices. An effective digital technology learning strategy integrates ICT learning into daily classroom interaction.
Steve Jobs famously said that everyone should learn to program a computer because "it teaches you how to think."
The process of internalising the fundamentals of technology is an important framework for learning and it is complementary to all STEM / STEAM learning streams.
We offer educational technology workshops for teachers spanning different models and platforms
SAMR
SAMR stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. This workshop focuses on these four degrees of classroom technology integration.
STEM
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This workshop covers the learning approach helps students develop skills such as problem solving and creativity.
STEAM Workshops
STEAM uses science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to help students engage with inquiry, dialogue and critical thinking.
Apple Workshops
Apple workshops help provide teachers to build foundational skills with Apple products, which inturn helps students learn through activities and innovative lessons.
We believe PD for teachers is the key to integrating digital technology learning strategies into the classroom
At eStorm, we offer a suite of professional development workshops in digital technologies and robotics for teachers and educators. The workshops are designed to empower teachers to comprehend, learn and deliver lessons in important digital and robotic technology skills.
The workshops also help educators bring classrooms up to speed on today's technology and integrating technology into learning across all classroom subjects.

The internal IT Manager at Silky Oaks left with no notice and very little documentation. Silky Oaks approached eStorm to assist in keeping their systems operational while they assessed their ongoing IT requirements.
Lighthouse Christian School promoted their junior technician to a management role after the departure of their previous IT manager. The new manager felt he was still developing his IT knowledge and experience, and thus would not be able to single-handedly run the school’s IT. LCS then endeavoured to find a Managed Service Provider that could provide supplemental IT support and services.
To meet the needs of a large client, Liquid Animation worked with eStorm to architect a solution that allowed international animators to seamlessly access data. This was achieved using a combination of cloud-based work stations and Amazon Web Services.

Our small group of highly skilled teachers facilitate our workshops that cover a broad range of subjects. These include STEAM workshops, SAMR focused learning, device and software specific training through to effective classroom practices using technology and Apple workshops.
Working with you
We understand it’s a challenge for schools to release staff to attend the workshops as it is often expensive to cover both the training and the absent teachers. This is why eStorm has a range of PD offerings and always strives to keep the pricing affordable for our clients.
