Amman, June 27 (Petra)-- In her continuous efforts to promote original opportunities for the Kingdom's teachers and access to innovation in all classrooms, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah launched the Arab Innovative Teachers Forum, today.

Over 150 teachers from Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, the UAE and Tunisia came together to exchange experiences and best practices to learn how to develop a lesson plan using multimedia.

The forum, sponsored by Microsoft and its partners, including the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Award for Excellence in Education, the Ministry of Education and the Jordan Education Initiative, is part of a bigger Microsoft program called 'the Innovative Teachers Program' where teachers get the opportunity to undergo training by using technology in education.

Teachers had the opportunity to interact with each other online and download information form the Jordan Innovative Teachers Network (ITN) website launched virtually by Queen Rania in December 2006. ITN brings together a comprehensive collection of resources created for teachers by the most highly regarded organizations in the field of education.
